Product Description

Chrysoperla rufilabris Adults: Natural Predators for Aphids and Soft-Bodied Pests

CHRYSOforce™ offers Chrysoperla rufilabris adults—also known as green lacewing adults—as a reliable, fast-acting biological control option. These lacewing adults support natural reproduction cycles by laying hundreds of eggs near pest colonies, which then hatch into hungry larvae ready to control aphids and other soft-bodied insects.

Why Use Chrysoperla rufilabris Adults?

Adult lacewings are excellent fliers and will actively disperse in search of aphid infestations. Once they locate a hotspot, they begin laying eggs. A single female can lay over 400 eggs during her lifespan. These eggs hatch into larvae that feed on a wide range of pests, including:

  • Aphids
  • Mealybugs
  • Whiteflies
  • Thrips
  • Spider mites
  • Pest insect eggs

This natural control strategy ensures your crops are protected throughout multiple life stages of the lacewing lifecycle.

Suitable Crops

  • Cannabis and hemp (indoor/outdoor)
  • Vegetables
  • Soft fruits
  • Ornamental plants
  • Tree nursery stock

Where to Use

  • Greenhouses
  • Indoor growing environments
  • Field crops
  • Home gardens
  • Orchards

Application & Release Tips

Chrysoperla rufilabris adults are shipped in vented containers. Open near the target crop and allow adults to fly out naturally. Release in the early evening to minimize flight stress and encourage local establishment. Avoid areas with strong wind or direct sun.

Best Practices

  • Control ant populations first—they may protect aphids and interfere with predator activity.
  • Provide food sources like WHEAST™ to support adult feeding and egg laying.
  • Use CHRYSOforce™ lacewing adults early in your pest management cycle for preventive protection.

Monitoring Results

You may not always see the lacewing adults, but their impact is noticeable. A sudden decline in aphid populations within a few days of release indicates active predator engagement.

CHRYSOforce™ Chrysoperla rufilabris adults are ideal for growers seeking a natural, chemical-free solution to control aphids and other greenhouse pests. Their ease of use and fast reproduction cycle make them a foundational tool for biological pest management programs.

Release instructions for the Release And Use Of Green Lacewing Adults

The lacewing adults will arrive inside a paper container and should be released the day they are received. They will have laid numerous eggs inside the container that are close to hatching. If immediate release is inconvenient, moisten the sponge with fresh water and keep the container at room temperature.

To release, remove the top screen carefully within the release area, and use a piece of cardboard to regulate amounts released throughout the target area. Eggs deposited within the container can also be released. Simply cut or tear the container and distribute the pieces containing the eggs on to target plants.
For best results you will want the lacewing adults to mate and lay eggs in close vicinity of the pest area. In order for this to happen, the adults need to be able to feed on nectar, pollen, or honeydew to stimulate egg laying. If these conditions do not exist they will simply leave the area and attempt to find the right conditions elsewhere.
IMPORTANT:

Report any and all suspected problems such as dead or less-than-healthy organisms within 24 hours after receipt of shipment. Do not, under any circumstances, release or discard suspect organisms until you have received instructions to do so.

You may be asked to return the shipment for further analysis.
