To damage a Prismatic Lacewing, you can use any Bug Net to catch it and then release it from your inventory, allowing you to kill it and potentially summon the Empress of Light boss, or you can directly attack it with a weapon if you are close enough, as Lacewings can only be damaged by players at close range. The Prismatic Lacewing can be killed at any time in any biome to summon the Empress of Light, but it will disappear almost immediately outside of the Hallow biome, requiring the use of persistent or quick weapons to kill it.

Habitat and Spawning
