Lacewings
Nature's Aphid Assassins
Lacewings are among the most effective and versatile beneficial insects available to growers. Their larvae — often called "aphid lions" — are relentless predators that devour a wide range of soft-bodied pests on contact, making them an essential tool for organic and integrated pest management programs. Sold as eggs, larvae and adults.
