Adult lacewings forage on pollen and nectar-rich flower: yarrow, coriander, daisies, Queen Anne’s Lace, and dill. The larvae of lacewings are enthusiastic predators of aphids, thrips, and mites.
They are attracted to lights so protect them by turning off your outdoor lights at night.
FRIEND or FOE SERIES
INSECTS ARE EVERYWHERE and they are the most diverse creatures in the world! It’s impossible to keep them out of our gardens, but that's not necessarily a bad thing because a wide variety of insect life promotes biodiversity!
The TSMG's are pleased to bring you the 'FRIEND OR FOE' series! We will look at a common garden insect to determine whether it is a Friend or Foe (or both)!
Posters of the following 'Friend or Foe' are included as .pdf documents at the bottom of this page.
