Frequently Asked Questions

1. What are green lacewings?
Green lacewings are beneficial insects that are natural predators of softbodied pests like aphids, thrips, mealybugs, and whiteflies.

2. How many green lacewing eggs are included in each card?
Each card contains approximately 160 to 170 green lacewing eggs, totaling around 2,500 eggs.

3. How do green lacewing larvae help with pest control?
Green lacewing larvae eat softbodied pests like aphids, thrips, mealybugs, and whiteflies. They can consume up to 200 aphids or other insect eggs and travel as far as 100 feet away from their hatch site in search of food.

4. How do I use green lacewing eggs for pest control?
