“Preferred food: aphids, mealybugs, spider mites, leafhopper nymphs, caterpillar eggs, scales, thrips, and whiteflies. Method of shipment, biology and release rates: The adults are sold in containers (buckets) of 100 or 500 and should be released the day received. To Release: We do not advise refrigerating the adults. If immediate release is not possible, moisten the accompanying sponge in water and replace it. Release as soon as possible, hopefully no later than 24 hours after receipt. To release, remove the top screen and use a piece of cardboard to regulate the amounts released throughout the target area. The eggs already deposited in the shipping container can be released in the target area by cutting the container. Availability: year-round. Includes Overnight Shipping!”

“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/200 sq. ft. Once the larvae emerge, they will feed for 1-3 weeks before they become adults. For farms release 5,000 to 20,000 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. Availability: year-round. Contains 1,000 Green Lacewing Eggs – For other quantities see below.”
