	Lacewings of Kentucky - University of Kentucky Entomology
		Lacewings of Kentucky - University of Kentucky Entomology
		Green and brown lacewing adults are also predators and feed on the same prey as the larvae: aphids, insect eggs, etc. Becasue lacewing larvae are well-known for feeding on aphids, they are often called "aphid lions." Lacewing adults do not fly very well, and are often eaten by flying predators such as birds and dragonflies.
		Like green lacewing larvae, brown lacewing larvae are predators, but some species cover themselves with debris and with the skins of their prey as a way to protect themselves from larger predators.

	Green Lacewing Larvae - Natural Aphid Control
		While the adult Green Lacewing feeds primarily on nectars and pollens, in the larvae stage of the Green Lacewing are voracious natural predators of a large number of pest insects including garden aphids.
		Green Lacewing Larvae are very active and can kill up to 600 aphids while in their larvae stage which lasts from two to four weeks.
		In situations where lacewing larvae are being deployed to control pest insects in large crops such as corn, tobacco or apples you will need larger concentrations of lacewings, generally 5 times that amount per acre to be effective.

	Bioscape, Inc. Lacewings
		Lacewing larvae voraciously attack their prey by seizing them with large, sucking jaws and inject a paralyzing venom.
		Lacewing adults can survive the winter in protected places but have a difficult time surviving cold winters.
		Lacewings should be released every 10 - 15 days until their populations are easily detectable or pests are no longer a threat.

	GREEN LACEWING EGGS FACT SHEET & Release Instructions (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Lacewing larvae are grey-brown in color and very tiny when just hatched, so you may need a magnifying glass to see them.
		Lacewing eggs come with a quantity of previously frozen moth eggs as a food source for the hatching larvae, but if this runs out before they're released, larvae turn to cannibalism.
		Lacewings should be reintroduced in the spring, as they overwinter with difficulty.

	VegEdge: Green Lacewing
		Green lacewings are typically ¾ inch long, have long netlike wings, slender pale green bodies, and golden eyes.
		Lacewing larvae are known to feed on a wide variety of soft-bodied arthropods including many aphid species, caterpillars, insect eggs, spiders and mites.
		The efficiency of lacewings to control pests can be affected by many factors, including: pest type, distribution of the pest (e.g., within and among plants), weather, crop, number of predators released, stage of predator released, and the predator/prey ratio.

	Beneficial Insects - Green Lacewing
		The green lacewing are pale green in color with large transparent wings having markedly visible veins.
		The green lacewing larvae are also known as 'aphis lions' (because of their ferocious appetite for aphids) and the stage which feeds on aphids and other insects.
		To help distinguishes it from the lady beetle larvae, which are similar in size and shape, lacewing larvae are of a different color (light brown) and have large 'hooked jaws' protruding out in front of their head (the head is towards the bottom of the picture).

	The Aphid Destroyer Info Page
		Lacewing will not fly away after they are released, they will feed for about 3 weeks as larvae before changing into attractive egg laying adults.
		Lacewing are raised in commercial insect farms, ladybugs must be harvested from the wild and much of the year they must be stored for months in refrigeration.
		Then mix the Lacewing eggs (that are in the small cup) and the rice hulls (in the bag) together and pour the mixture into the white bags.

	Lacewing
		Lacewings first appeared in a Lutino strain, so it is not surprising that some breeders supposed they were cinnamon Lutino's and that the cinnamon had been combined with ino in the same way as Opaline has been combined with cinnamon.
		The Redeye Lacewing chick was not shown until 1979 and only with a great deal of difficulty in getting it into the proper classification at the shows (as no one in the United States had ever shown a Redeye-Lacewing).
		The breeding of this hypothetical "lacewing minus cinnamon" would depend on a crosover between the two sexlinked genes and theoretically the best way of attempting it would be to mate normal/lacewing cocks to lacewing hens, when a small proportion of cinnamon and "lacewing minus cinnamon" cocks and hens might appear.

		Green lacewing larvae are voracious predators of aphids and other soft bodied pests.
		The female lacewing lays eggs usually in groups on leaves, each egg held away from the leaf surface on the end of a slender stalk.
		For control of moderate aphid infestations in greenhouses, 4 to 8 lacewing larvae per yard or 1,000 eggs per 200 square feet are recommended.

	Optimizing Augmentative Releases Of Lacewing Eggs
		The larval stages of this lacewing are solely and voraciously predatory.
		The lacewing egg stage is a desirable product for many situations because eggs are inexpensive, allowing large numbers to be released, and they can be delivered using a variety of methods.
		When lacewing eggs are utilized, it is paramount to successful implementation that their delivery to the target planting coincides with complete development of lacewing larvae within the eggs, and with the availability of susceptible developmental stages of pests for prey.

	Control aphids in the garden using ladybirds and lacewing larvae
		Lacewing larvae occur naturally in the garden but often aphids numbers explode (especially in warm weather) and the lacewings struggle to eat them all.
		By placing a Lacewing chamber in your garden, the survival rate of the lacewings can be dramatically improved and there will be more of them to control the aphids in the Spring.
		The wooden chamber comes ready to use and consists of a sturdy wooden box which is guaranteed to last for years and a straw insert which is treated with a strong attractant to attract the lacewings to their new home.

	Cicadas and lacewings
		The lacewing is attracted to the calling and feeding cicada and lands on the branch near it and then positions itself above the cicada on the branch, facing it head-on.
		Sometimes the lacewing makes physical contact by resting its antennae on the cicada's head which is followed by the cicada 'pawing' the lacewing's antennae with its forelegs.
		The lacewing could either be using an olfactory stimulus (smell) as they are attracted to honeydew and the volatiles in the cicadas excreted waste could attract them.

	Non-Target Effects of Imidacloprid
		The lacewings arrived inside a paper container and distributive in nine mesh cages (30cm x 30cm) for the first replication and twelve mesh cages (30cm x 30cm) for the second and third replication.
		Through all three replications, behavioral changes were observed in lacewing adults in 1x and 2x treatment that were not significant in any of the control cages, expressed as reduction of movement and flight inability of lacewing adults.
		Affected lacewings were not able to continue feeding or able to defend themselves against larvae that persisted in the cages, suggesting a sub-lethal effect of imidacloprid.

	Insect models - Julia Stoess [Common green lacewing]
		The common green lacewing is to be found in the entire holarctic region and is by far the most common lacewing species in Central Europe.
		The adult insects hibernate in trees, hollows and buildings, and change their body colour as a result of temperature and the length of daylight from green to reddy brown in winter, and back to green again in spring.
		The common green lacewing lays its eggs individually on a long stem, as protection from predators but also to protect the hatching larvae from each other (cannibalism).

	Method for Producing Green Lacewing Eggs and Larvae
		Learning how to maintain your own colony of green lacewings adults can help optimize shipments of purchased lacewing larvae and ensure that plants have a steady-and inexpensive-presence of natural enemies to keep pests such as aphids and mealybugs in check.
		Note: The friskiness of green lacewing adults makes their movement erratic and somewhat unpredictable-but they are attracted to bright light.
		Note: Upon hatching from pupae, adult lacewings may damage their their wings, but usually they will be able to mate and/or lay eggs.
