Default Green, leaf-like insect


I have found a number of green, flat, leaf-like insects in my garden and
I'm wondering if they are good or bad. Should I leave them alone or
dispatch them to green, leaf-like insect heaven? They are about 1cm
long.

They could be Lacewings, a very beneficial predator of aphids. Google
green lacewing and see if that is what you have
