“During 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. Availability: year-round Release Rate: In gardens and greenhouses: 1,000 eggs / 200 sq. ft. In fields or orchards: 5,000-20,000 depending on infestation. Release staggered at 1 week intervals since only the larvae are predatorial, at least”

“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.
