Lacewing larva? - Chrysoperla rufilabris

Lacewing larva? - Chrysoperla rufilabris
Brooklyn, Kings County, New York, USA
July 8, 2021
Size: less than 3/8"
Apologies for poor photo, I only had my iPhone at hand. Found it crawling actively about on my book bag while I was on the subway. Transferred it to my finger, where it stopped, latched on with pincers, pierced my skin and fed. The feeding was faintly prickly, not painful, and left a small blister.
