Lacewing Eggs on Hanging Card - 5K
Contains: 5,000 Eggs on 30 Hanging Cards
Scientific Name: Chrysoperla rufilabris.
Green lacewing larvae will hatch out from the eggs on the cards and move onto plant foliage in search of pest insects (food). Once hatched, green lacewing are tolerant of high temperatures and remain effective in high and low humidities.
Green Lacewing Eggs on Hanging Cards allow for easy and even release of lacewing eggs throughout the growing area. Ideal for use in orchards, indoor growing, greenhouses and row cropping. Introduce green lacewing at the first sign of pest infestation for best results. Green Lacewing Preferred Food: aphids, mealybugs, spider mites, leafhopper nymphs, moth eggs, scale, thrips, and whiteflies. Life Cycle & Behavior: Lacewing eggs hatch within 3-10 days of receipt depending on temperature and humidity in the release area. Once hatched, lacewing larvae feed for 2-3 weeks on a variety of soft-bodied insects. Larvae are recognizable by their prominent mandibles (mouthparts), alligator-like appearance and pale coloration with dark markings. The larvae molt as they grow and mature through 3 instar stages. Pupation occurs in silken cocoons on the undersides of leaves or under loose bark. Green lacewing will overwinter in the pupal stage in cooler climates. Adults emerge from the cocoons with large veined ("lacy") wings ready to mate and lay more eggs. Adult green lacewings feed on pollen, nectar and honeydew while aiding in pollination. The complete life cycle lasts roughly 30 days. Release Rates: For best results, release Green Lacewing early in the season when pest numbers are low. Make a minimum of three releases.
It is very rare but occasionally these will be substituted for Green Lacewing Larvae on rice hulls, with the same quantity. ***Thank you for your support of this small business. Happy Growing!!!*** |
