If I would have wanted to order dead eggs I would have looked for them in a Condor preserve.or gotten them on an easter egg hunt. Both shipments (one was a replacement shipment) resulted in not one of the supposedly two thousand eggs to hatch. It has been four weeks since the first shipment and, besides my kid's tears htting the empty rice hulls in the dead egg containers, there is still no life movement! Knowing that this would be just a bunch of huie, I setup water protected control groups/cups in different temperature areas inside the house and in the garden to monitor the process. Folks, this is more of a "hocus pocus" action to skim money off of people that try to be trendy or those that feel the need to avoid using pesticides.
I do appreciate Natures Good Guy's attempt to send me ladybugs instead of lacewings - but there is just no comparison. There is a very good reason for why I had asked for lacewing and not ladybugs! After releasing them exactly as requested notes that came with the package and after reading about it in multiple forums) all but a very few of the 5000 had disappeared by late morning (the next day). People - do not buy ladybugs unless you just like to watch them fly off when the sun comes out! They will clean out the bugs in your neighbor's yard on your dime! Be smart and find the lacewings at a reputable place that guarantees them to be alive! At least you will get your money back if they are dead and you get to right a juicy review about your experience and kick the manufacturer's but for wasting your time and plants. At this point the aphids have completely decimated my cabbage and tomatoes and are working on destroying the few living asian beans plants that are left. Oh, and the spider mites are having a mega party on my house plants!
I am quite disappointed in the results, especially after paying that kind of money including shipping for nothing. Worse, however, is the fact that an entire season's worth of my organic vegetable crop has been decimated by the very same bugs that this " snake oil miracle cure" had promised to eradicate. Natures Good Guys were not so good after all - the only thing they are good at is wasting my time and ruining my plants!
Please see attached photos of the damage in my garden so you see this is not just a competitor bagging on them "Good Guys." I could have shot a photo of all the separate cups filled with empty rice hulls as well but there really is not much to look at!

Having said that, the two that did make it have helped knock the thrips back a little, but there's only so much two little bugs can do. Now, they look about ready to pupate, so I'm hopeful they'll survive that and make more adult lacewings, for which there are plenty of pollen-y flowers + wheast sprayed around to feed them.
The trick to seeing how many larvae you have is to turn a light on during the night. Then, you'll see some scary little things patrolling the leaves, but I've never seen them out during the day. Since the mothers lay their eggs at night, I guess it shouldn't be surprising that the larvae patrol at night too.
So, I'm re-ordering more today, in hopes of cooler weather so more will arrive this time.
My thrips seem immune to neem and have been killing everything, and I think this product would be PERFECT during cooler months. In the summer, however, try to find them locally if you can, so they don't all hatch and eat each other during transit.
The only other thing that has helped (against thrips) is SNS 209, which you put in the water, and then the plants taste bad to the thrips. I would suggest using these lacewing eggs + one other method, such as the 209, predatory mites, or nematodes. (Or all of the above!) Thrips are no joke; thank goodness for the good bugs.
Cooler weather: 5/5 stars
Above 85°F weather: 4/5 stars
(for NOT enough moth eggs to sustain them when they hatch during transit.)
This year I figured out the perfect bug related solution to aphid infestations. I released ~1k ladybugs early to make a big dent in the aphids, and then ordered lacewings two weeks later. This meant that by the time the lacewings were hatched, they had a smallish/manageable population to eat. The best part? They stick around WAY better than ladybugs. I ordered my lacewings once (late April) and if I go outside I can see floating lacewing eggs in my balcony garden still in the second half of July. This time around they’re trying to eat my spider mites (good luck with that, lacewings).
So if lacewings don’t solve your problem 100%, you might need a one-two punch of a strategy. Just make sure to release the ladybugs first since they’ll also eat lacewings babies if they come across them while hunting aphids.
