GREEN LACEWINGS

Product Description:

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.

Aphid situation better, not perfect

I'll start by saying that the aphid situation in my yard is significantly better than recent years. I do credit the green lacewings for that improvement. I got the smaller size, and I wish I had gotten the bigger size. Will definitely try again next year.

Hopeful about another try next year

Took an extra try to get a partially viable batch (temps in the 100s during shipping), but I ultimately had limited success. Unfortunately, my aphid situation was so out of control by the time the lacewings were successfully released that they couldn't keep up. I will give it another try next year, but ordering well before temps creep up and aphids proliferate.

Lace wings

This was a totally wasted purchase since no lacewings emerged. I followed instructions and kept the eggs refrigerated at the designated temperature, and put out the sheets of eggs at the designated outdoor temperature. I should have pursued a refund, but there were other diversions, and I chalked this up to "never again!"

So sorry to hear that! You still can get a refund or replacement, as our guarantee is good for up to a year from purchase. You can contact our customer service (Monday-Friday 8AM-5PM Pacific Time) at either 800-626-0866 or info@territorialseed.com
