Product Description

The natural enemy of many species of pests, insects, and mites, the Green Lacewings are shipped as eggs that will soon hatch into larvae. The tiny larvae are known as "Aphid Lions" because of their voracious appetites (devouring as many as 1000 aphids per day). They remain as larvae for up to 21 days, just crawling around looking for food. Aphid Lions also make hearty meals of Mealybugs, spider mites, caterpillars, thrips, leaf hoppers, whitefly larvae, a wide variety of moth eggs, and just about any other soft bodied pest. The adult green lacewing only feeds on pollen, but it will immediately begin laying eggs, and the life cycle will repeat. 1,000 eggs. Restricted state: Hawaii

I ordered this item on July 9th and now it is the 18th. The eggs still have not been shipped even though the ad says "Usually ships in 2-3 days". I have received no explanation about what is going on and I see no way to contact anyone. The only reason I haven't canceled the order is because I live in a place that makes it difficult to get anything else except for chemical poison. In the meantime, the aphids are multiplying at a fast rate in my greenhouse.

these lacewings arrived with an order of lady bugs,but the bag was a old style sandwich bag with fold over top, the majority of the smaller particles where scattered in the box and stayed stuck to the shipping label via vent holes in the box, i have to assume that a lot of the eggs where lost via those vent holes big enough for pinky finger to fit thru,i returned these since i dont believe 1000 eggs where ever even close to being in the bag since these bugs are so small,and the fact that the bag was not sealed or closed in anyway,just thrown in the box on top of the ladybugs, no packing to keep the bag in place or keep it from shifting around and shaking out the bugs/eggs, orcon needs better packaging

I have been purchasing Lacewings and Ladybugs all summer. This package game in a sandwich bag full of dead lacewings eggs. Nothing has hatched, no movement at all. Very disappointing!
