A close one for me between Odanata and Hymenoptera. Can't beat a dragonfly by the river in the summer though, so Odonata wins by a small head

The larvae of most families of the order Neuroptera are very efficient at decimating aphid infestations. For that reason they get my vote.

The ceremony of innocence is drowned;
The best lack all conviction, while the worst
Are full of passionate intensity.

p.s. I am torn between Lepidoptera and Hymenoptera... wasps let the latter order down imo.
