Adults feed on nectar, pollen and honeydew to stimulate their reproductive process. An adult female will lay about 200 eggs. With the right plants it is easy to get a colony of Lacewing to call a healthy garden home. Lacewing work well in conjunction with Lady Bugs, Spider Mite Predators and Trichogamma. Release 1 Lacewing per sqft of garden or greenhouse area then repeat every 10 to 14 days until control has been achieved.
Early starts get better results faster.
Order eggs for the best value, larvae for quickest control. Will not be attracted to Sticky Yellow Cards. The adult Green Lacewing will live from between 20 to 40 days and will live on plant pollen and honeydew produced by aphids, scales and whitefly. Each female will lay between 10 to 30 eggs daily. The larvae will emerge in about 5 days and are aggressive predators of many garden pests.
