Item Description
|
The preferred food of lacewings are aphids, however, they will also consume thrips, whiteflies and moth eggs. Only the larvae of the lacewing will feed of these pests, the adult lacewing will fly away and will not consume any pests. The larvae of the lacewing are voracious predators and will hunt and attack their prey and then suck out the body fluids from the pest.
Application: Lacewings are available as either eggs or larvae.
Eggs: Lacewing eggs should be kept in the bottle it is shipped in until the eggs change from green to a grey color. Only release eggs once the color change begins to take place. Some of the eggs will hatch in the bottle which is fine as they are shipped with food. The eggs should be stored between 60 - 80°F and 60 - 75% humidity for optimum hatching. Hatching will take place 1-2 days after being shipped.
Larvae: Rotate the bottle gently before use; the gentle rotation will help mix up the contents without damaging the lacewing larvae. Apply the contents near to the aphid infestation. The larvae can also be placed on top of rockwool blocks, soil or coco growing mediums (do not place the larvae on top of Hydroton rocks). If the aphid infestation persists, lacewing larvae will need to be reapplied once the larvae pupate into adults. The adult lacewing is easy to recognize - a slim green insect with fine wings, about ½" long.
Bottle Sizes Available: 5,000 eggs or 900 larvae
Coverage: approximately 450 square feet per bottle
Shipping Notice: Price includes Next Day or Second Day Air shipping! Beneficial insects are shipped on Mondays and Thursdays only (holidays excluded) and MUST be shipped via Next Day or Second Day Air to insure their survival.
