Abstract
Based on studies with natural populations, a genetic model for sympatric speciation is offered [using 2 green lacewings, Chrysopa carnea and C. downesi] that could have broad application to polyphagous animals with habitat differences. The model is composed of 3 steps, each of which includes simple genetic changes and plausible selective forces.Keywords
