Green Lacewing, Chrysoperla rufilabris eggs – Hanging Packs Online now

For easy release and even distribution of green lacewings, paper hanging packs containing eggs are randomly hung on the twigs branches throughout the gardens or greenhouses. Eggs will hatch into small larvae within 3-7 days. Hatched larvae will then crawl out of hanging packs and start feeding on targeted insect pests.

Green lacewings are scientifically known as Chrysoperla rufilabris and considered as one of the most aggressive predators of aphids but it can also munch on other soft- bodied insects such as whitefly larvae, scale insects and mealy bugs. This beneficial insect is a nocturnal predator meaning it is active during night–time. As name implies, adult lacewings are green in color with two pairs of transparent wings, which are longer than their body. Green lacewing adults are tiny about 0.5 inch long insects with big eyes and very long and thin antennae. Green lacewing adults generally feed on nectar, pollen and honeydews but their larvae are predatory in nature. Mature larvae of green lacewing are about 0.5 inch long, brown in color and look like small alligators. The only larval stages of green lacewing are predatory in nature.
