Has anyone used this insect before? they control aphids.
nice link, I am also trying to apprehend some jumping spiders, to take them on an all expenses paid trip where the weather is always nice and food is plentifulhttp://www.biocontrol.entomology.cornell.edu/predators/Chrysoperla.html They exist here in asia also
I found preying mantis egg cases and took those into the grow room the young devour aphids .A
I have these on order but I read somewhere that they are so aggressive they will start eating the plants once they have depleted their food source. Can you remember if they bred once they became adults?The larvae are ravenous and will travel far. They are seriously aggressive. They eat every bug/mite in site, then start on each other till last man standing. They wiped out a serious White Fly problem I had about 3 years ago-completely. None since. Good luck. -granger
The only issue I have with flying predators is them flying into the lights. I found a few ladybugs a while back outside and
brought them indoors figuring I had free predators. Sadly, within 2 days they kept flying into the MH and fried themselves.
Maybe, with LEDs they would live longer.
