- Abstract
Lacewing overwintering chambers placed correctly in the field may be colonized by large numbers of adult common green lacewings (Chrysoperla carnea). This paper reports field results collected over 2 years from chambers placed in a number of European locations. Considerable variation was found in the success rates of the chambers from different areas and some suggestions are made as to why this might be. An experiment was conducted to investigate the potential use of overwintered lacewings in pest control. This attempt was not successful and possible reasons why are discussed.
