Fecundity - Females produce eggs for most of their life, averaging two or more eggs per day most of their adult life. Productive little creatures to save your plants. Predation - Each individual of both sexes is a voracious killer of harmful insects from the moment it hatches until its death months later. For this reason they are stable in various cropping systems. Nymphs would be ideal for nurseries and greenhouses where flowering and ornamental plants are propagated.
Adults search both soil and plant surfaces for prey.
They migrate slowly with encroaching populations of pests from the edges of planted areas. When on the plant, they search terminal buds, flowers, and leaves for insect prey. Please contact Biofac with questions or comments. Inc. All rights reserved.
