LACEWINGS

We sell green lacewings (Chrysoperla spp.) as a general predator. We believe this insect is greatly under rated for use in integrated pest management systems. Work has been done using lacewings in biocontrol programs of mealybug and spider mites. Consider using lacewings with Cryptolaemus montrouzier for management of Grape Mealybug "hot spots".

Lacewings are also good management agents of aphids in various crops. Quite a number of growers utilize lacewings to manage insect pests in crops such as pomegrantes or pecans.


Lacewings come as eggs in a cup. When the eggs turn from green to gray and a few young lacewing larvae start to emerge, they are ready to release into the field.

Lacewing larvae are voracious and are relatively cheap to apply multiple times. We will ship you the unhatched eggs. You can hatch them at 75 to 80 F and then apply them to the field.
