In that case, I'll go

Name the order and family and common species name. Also, give a short note about its economic importance if it has one.

I was going to post an easy one (lady beetle, praying mantis, periodical cicada, etc.), but then I thought nah, I'll post a really ambiguous looking larva (yes, it is a member of a family that we need to know the immature form for). Here it is :
