Green Lacewings

Each of these cards contains around 160 to 170 green lacewing eggs. Green lacewing larvae resemble alligators in both appearance and appetite. These eggs begin to hatch within three to five days. Once they hatch, the tiny larvae start looking for their first meal. Choose your desired quantity below. Green lacewing larvae eat soft-bodied pests like aphids, thrips, mealybugs, and whiteflies. These larvae can consume up to 200 aphids or other insect eggs. They travel as far as 100 feet away from their hatch site in search of food. Just hang the card on plant foliage and nature does the rest! Once they develop into adults, lacewings feed on honeydew, nectar, and pollen. They work well with existing ladybug populations, or as a substitute for ladybugs. Adults live for four to six weeks. During that time, females lay up to 200 eggs, creating a new batch of larvae to continue the fight! These insects ship directly from the supplier.
