Frequently Asked Questions

What are Green Lacewings?
Green Lacewings are a natural pest control solution that can eliminate soft bodied pests. Each card contains between 160 to 170 lacewing eggs, totaling approximately 1,000 eggs, which hatch within three to five days. The larvae eat soft bodied pests like aphids, thrips, mealybugs, and whiteflies. Just hang the card on plant foliage and nature does the rest. Once they develop into adults, lacewings feed on honeydew, nectar, and pollen.

What do Green Lacewing larvae look like?
Green Lacewing larvae resemble alligators in both appearance and appetite. During their larval stage, which lasts two to three weeks, they 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.

Can Green Lacewings work with existing ladybug populations?
Green Lacewings work well with existing ladybug populations or as a substitute for ladybugs. During their adult life span, which lasts two to six weeks, females can lay up to 200 eggs, creating a new batch of larvae to continue the fight!
