IPM of Alaska supplies Beneficial Insects and other organisms for natural control of many types of pests. Availability of all beneficial organisms vary according to the time of the year.
Lacewings are native predators in Alaska.
The larvae are extremely greedy and efficient against aphids . The adults are fragile, light green insects with long, transparent, fine-veined wings and golden eyes. The adult lacewing is not a predator but feeds on nectar, honeydew and pollen. The adult Lacewing lays her eggs on foilage. After a few days, the egg hatches and tiny larva emerge ready to eat.
