Green Lacewings are available in three different stages — eggs, larvae, and adults. Lacewing eggs are the most economical choice, although you will see faster results when you purchase live Lacewing larvae. Lacewing eggs are packaged in rice hulls for easy disbursement. During the 2-3 weeks before becoming an adult, the larvae will consume 200-300 Aphids each.
Lacewing larvae voraciously attack their prey by seizing them with large, sucking jaws and inject a paralyzing venom. The hollow jaws then draw out the body fluids of the pest. In general, they attack the eggs and the immature stages of most soft-bodied pests such as: aphids, thrips, spider mites, sweet potato & greenhouse whitefly, mealybugs, leafhoppers, and the eggs and caterpillars of most pest moths. Of all available commercial predators, the lacewing is the most voracious and has the greatest versatility for pests of field crops, orchards, and greenhouses.
