Product Description

Chrysoperla rufilabris: Green Lacewing Predator for Aphids and More

Looking for a fast and aggressive predator to tackle soft-bodied pests? Chrysoperla rufilabris, the species behind CHRYSOforce™, is one of the most effective biological control agents for managing aphids, thrips, mealybugs, and more. Commonly known as the green lacewing, its larvae are voracious hunters capable of consuming up to 50 aphids per day. This makes them an essential tool in integrated pest management (IPM) programs across greenhouses, fields, and gardens.

What Pests Does Chrysoperla rufilabris Target?

  • Aphids (multiple species)
  • Mealybugs (multiple species)
  • Spider mites
  • Whitefly eggs and juveniles
  • Thrips (larvae)
  • Many pest insect eggs

Suitable Crops

  • Ornamentals
  • Hemp and cannabis
  • Vegetables
  • Soft fruits
  • Tree nursery stock

Ideal Environments

  • Greenhouses
  • Indoor grow operations
  • Field crops
  • Orchards
  • Home gardens

How It Works

The larvae of Chrysoperla rufilabris search out prey and immobilize them by injecting digestive enzymes, then sucking out the body contents. They’re active even in low-light or cool conditions. Adult females can lay over 400 eggs near pest hotspots, ensuring broad coverage of infested areas.

Application Options

  • Eggs (loose or on cards): Release when hatching begins. Rotate the container gently to distribute eggs evenly.
  • Larvae (bulk or Hexcel frame): Best used immediately upon receipt. Sprinkle or tap larvae onto affected plants.

Storage Notes

Do not refrigerate lacewing larvae. Release immediately upon arrival.

Monitoring and Results

Green lacewing larvae are small and fast-moving, so they can be difficult to spot. The best way to gauge success is a noticeable reduction in pest populations within days of release.

Additional Tips

  • Control ants before release; they protect aphids from predators.
  • Provide adult lacewings with pollen or nectar. Supplements like WHEAST™ can enhance reproduction.

Important Disclosures

This is a live-product. Any shipping concerns must be reported within 24 hours of receipt. For optimal success, follow the live-product guidelines and release procedures as outlined.

Release instructions for the use of Green Lacewing Larvae Chrysoperla rufilabris

*If you would like to observe the larvae, or check the contents of the bottle or bulk bag before release, sprinkle some of the contents onto a piece of white paper. You will see larvae crawling amongst the rice hulls. The larvae are shipped two different ways:

1. Bottle or bulk bag : Lacewing eggs are incubated at the insectary and upon arrival will have hatched into larvae. They are mixed with rice hulls for easy distribution and should be released the same day received. Simply sprinkle the contents over the target area. The bulk bag will come with a separate plastic scoop you can use to release the larvae.

2. Hexcel : pre-fed lacewing larvae are still developing inside individual cells also known as a “rearing frame” covered on both sides with organdy material. You can observe the larvae in the cells if you hold the frame into the light. The larvae should be released the same day received (no later than the following day) unless otherwise stated on your packing slip. Peel back one side of the organdy material an inch at a time and “knock” or “tap” the larvae out onto the target area. Next, peel off the organdy on the other side of the frame. You can lay the organdy and frame next to a plant to ensure any remaining larvae can crawl out and onto the plant(s).

The larvae will feed for approximately 10 to 14 days (depending on climatic conditions and available food source) and then pupate. You may wish to introduce more larvae at that time.
Do not cold store the larvae.
IMPORTANT:

We guarantee live delivery and ask that you report any problem within 24 hours.
