Green Lacewing Preferred food: aphids, mealybugs, spider mites, leafhopper nymphs, moth eggs, scales, thrips, and whiteflies.
Method of shipment, biology and release rates: Green Lacewing are shipped either as eggs packed in bran, as larvae in frames or bottles, or as adults.
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.

Lacewings vs. Whitefly
- By H P on Jul 31, 2010
I had a bad whitefly infestation that affected raspberries, mint, and a number of other plants in my yard. Three potted Baptisia plants on my porch were so badly infected that the leaves dried out and dropped off the plants. After treating my yard and plants with Lacewing eggs, the whitefly are virtually undetectable and my Baptisia plants are sending up new shoots and leaves. If the Whiteflies come back, I will definitely get some more lacewings.
