Method of shipment: Green lacewing are shipped as eggs packed in bran.
Release rates: In gardens and greenhouses, release eggs at approximately 1,000 eggs/2500 sq. ft. Once the larvae emerge, they will feed for 1-3 weeks before they become adults. For farms release 5,000 to 50,000 per acre depending upon infestation.
The adults eat only honey, pollen, and nectar, which they need to reproduce. Repeated releases every 7-10 days will be most effective if the infestation is severe. It is recommended to release Green lacewing at the beginning of each season with a two week interval to establish a preventative colony.
