Green Lacewing - 1,000 Hanging Release packDuring their larval stage, Green Lacewing are voracious eaters of aphids, mealybugs, spider mites, leafhopper nymphs, caterpillar eggs, scale, thrips, and whitefly. Commonly called Aphid Lions, each larva can eat 200 aphids or other pests each week for 2-3 weeks.
The Hanging Release pack is a thin paper container that easily hangs or can be stapled in place. It has the eggs inside it; just open up the folded top and hang it in or staple it to plant or tree foliage. Wait 3-7 days for the larvae to emerge to begin devouring your pests.
The adult Green Lacewing eats only honey, pollen, and nectar, which it needs to reproduce. Provide flowering plants or Good Bug Power Meal, and your female Lacewings will lay 100’s of eggs, continuing the cycle.
