Green Lacewing

Green Lacewings are dainty pale apple-green insects that flutter like butterflies and look like tiny damselflies. As adults, these beauties feed on nectar.

The larvae (babies), however, are fierce predators having voracious appetites for aphids, spider mites, whitefly eggs, and more.

Looking like little alligators with attitude, these tiny terrors are some of the nicest "bugs" you'll meet!

1000 lacewing eggs!

The AVERAGE application rate is 2 per sq ft. So 1,000 Green Lacewing eggs covers about 500 sq ft. Adjust that up or down depending on infestation.

IMPORTANT NOTICE-PLEASE READ!!!: Most live beneficial insect, snail and worm orders received before Thursday noon, are processed on the following Friday and shipped out the following Monday or Tuesday via UPS. After that time, they are sent in the next week's batch. They are not sent from this location, they are sent from the rearing facilities. Rush orders cannot be accepted for live insects. Expect a 10-14 day delivery for most shipments. If you do not live in the Western U.S., it is recommended you choose UPS 3 day delivery or better. IF YOU LIVE EAST OF THE ROCKIES AND HAVE NOT CHOSEN UPS 3 DAY OR FASTER, WE WILL AUTOMATICALLY SEND IT THAT WAY AND YOU WILL BE CHARGED EXTRA FOR THAT METHOD. There will still be the same 1-2 week wait for them to be sent out, but they will go by the recommended method.

Multiple orders which include live insects with other merchandise such as toys and candy, may have additional shipping and handling fees added to cover the additional cost of two shipments. The merchandise (other than the live animals) will be sent ground, the live insects will be sent 3 day or better.

Live insects may only be shipped within the Continental United States (may not be shipped to Hawaii) .



Availability: Usually ships in 1-2 weeks.
