CHRYSOPA CARNEA - Green  Lacewing Larva

*ORDERS FOR GREEN LACEWING MUST BE PLACED BEFORE TUESDAY AT 11:30 AM PST TO BE SHIPPED THE FOLLOWING WEEK*

Larvae of the lacewing attack prey and suck their body fluids. The remainder of the dead pest insect shrivels up completely and is difficult to find. Larvae are mainly active and feeding at night and hiding during the day.

Use CHRYSOPA for biological pest control of primarily:

• Aphids 
  
• Echinothrips
• Mealybugs
• Whitefly
• Moth Eggs

Application Instructions

• Shake / Rotate the bottle gently before use
• Apply on infested leaves
• For curative treatments, apply Chrysopa directly in the heavily affected areas
• The product can be applied on the rock wool block, on leaves, via Dibox application boxes or distributed by Air(o)bug

What to Expect Upon Arrival

• Difficult to Spot: This predatory insect is hard to see during and after release.
  
• Blends In: Chrysopa larvae blend in with the carrier material due to their colouring, making them hard to see during application.
  
• Nocturnal Behaviour: After release, they remain hidden during the day and only feed at night.

Important Notes

We import most biological controls fresh to help ensure customers receive active, viable beneficial insects, mites, and nematodes. Because these are living products with limited shelf life, we do not keep most biologicals stocked in-house.

Please inspect your package and product immediately upon arrival, before release. If you have any concerns about condition or viability, contact us before releasing at admin@optimizeorganics.ca with your order number and clear photos of the package and product. Once beneficials have been released, it becomes much more difficult for us to assess their condition on arrival.

Biological pest control is rarely a one-and-done release. In most active pest situations, sequential releases are needed to build and maintain beneficial populations while pest eggs continue to hatch and existing pest pressure is reduced.

Avoid spraying pesticides, oils, soaps, or other residues immediately before or after release unless compatibility has been confirmed, as these may harm beneficials.
