The Pest Control That Lays Its Own Backup Plan
Green Lacewing Adults are more than just pretty wings—they’re biological control
on autopilot. Once released, females lay up to 200 eggs near pest hotspots. A
few days later? You’ve got predatory larvae on the hunt for aphids, thrips,
whiteflies, and more.
While the larvae do the heavy lifting, adults multitask. They feed on nectar,
pollen, and honeydew—supporting pollination and helping to maintain beneficial
insect populations. Great for gardens, orchards, vineyards, and greenhouses,
especially where a light touch and long-term balance are the goal.
WHAT THEY TARGET
* Aphids
* Mealybugs
* Spider mites
* Thrips
* Whiteflies
* Soft-bodied insect eggs and nymphs
WHY LACEWING ADULTS?
* Dual function. Predator + pollinator = ecological win-win
* Built-in lifecycle. Females lay eggs that hatch into pest-hungry larvae
* No sprays, no damage. A clean, sustainable pest management option
* Scales well. Use for anything from container gardens to full orchards
HOW THEY WORK
* Females lay eggs on fine stalks near pest populations
* Eggs hatch in 2–7 days into larvae that begin feeding immediately
* Adults feed on nectar and honeydew while supporting pollination
* Best results at 60–95°F with moderate humidity
* Some adults may overwinter and reappear next season in outdoor settings
HOW MUCH TO RELEASE
* Smaller areas: 1 adult per 10 sq. ft. for prevention or light pest pressure
* Large-scale: 5,000 adults per acre for orchards, vineyards, or broad garden
beds
* Adjust as needed based on pest activity and plant density
PRO TIPS FOR SUCCESS
* Release immediately upon arrival—these are live, active adults
* Timing matters: Release in early morning or evening to avoid heat stress
* Go easy. Gently tap the container to distribute adults—no shaking or dumping
* Feed them. Use a protein-rich Good Bug Diet to boost adult survival
* Skip the sprays. Avoid pesticide exposure before and after release
SHIPPING & STORAGE
* Ships overnight to protect live adults
* No storage. Release as soon as they arrive for full effectiveness
