GREEN LACEWINGS

GREEN LACEWINGS

Eats both aphids and whiteflies!
Chrysopa rufilabris This is a voracious predator, attacking almost any soft-bodied insect that crosses its path. Best known for eating aphids and whiteflies (up to 60 per hour). Lacewings are shipped to you hatching or close to hatching by the time you receive them. When released they will lay eggs and provide several generations of predators. About 5,000–10,000 lacewings will cover the average yard. Complete instructions are included. Green lacewings are shipped express and should be released upon arrival.

PLEASE READ BEFORE ORDERING:
Beneficial insects will be shipped immediately when ordered unless prior arrangements have been made with our office. Delayed shipments are not always possible. Additional shipping charges may be applied to delayed shipments.
When using beneficial insects, it is important to avoid disruptive chemicals. We recommend releasing beneficial insects outdoors from April through September, based on your local weather conditions. They may be released in your greenhouse anytime. Available only within the contiguous US.

Lacewings

I have not seen any adult lacewings as of 9/9/24. I hung the tags the middle of July. At any rate there has been considerably less white flies in my grapes. I will try them again next year and maybe start earlier.

Too cold

Unfortunately, two batches of eggs seem to have failed to hatch. I’m guessing it was too cold for them in the Seattle spring weather. I was hoping the lacewings would put a good dent in my Western Flower Thrip problem, which infest my beautiful viburnums that bloom in May. The bushes are quite large, and I can’t figure out another way to control the thrips. Bummer that it’s too cold for the lacewings; the thrips seem to disappear when the flowering is done, so I doubt it makes sense to release another batch of eggs in summer.
