Yes, lacewings and leafhoppers feed at night. Lacewings (Chrysopidae family) tend to be night-active during mature stages in their life cycles and natural histories since their wings are not strong enough to survive high-speed chases after prey or from predators. The body chemistry of leaf-hoppers (Cicadellidae family) suits nocturnal lifestyles of insects that, like moths, go for night-time's lit-up buildings and yards.
