Green Lacewing Larvae for Aphid Control uses incubated lacewing eggs timed to hatch after shipping. Once hatched, the larvae hunt immediately, delivering fast, on-contact pest suppression. Known as aphid lions, they feed on soft-bodied pests such as aphids, thrips, and whiteflies with no residue or leaf-wiping required. Safe for food crops and ornamentals. Packaging includes lacewing eggs in a rice hull carrier, with emerging larvae mixed in. Release on arrival by gently scattering contents across affected plants; leave the container open for late hatchers. Do not refrigerate, soak, or mist, and avoid sprays 7 days before or after release. 📋 Product summary: Incubated lacewing eggs timed to hatch after shipping, yielding immediate predatory larvae.
