Abundance and Seasonal Migration Patterns of Green Lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) across the Bohai Strait in Eastern Asia [PDF]
InsectsMany insects, including green lacewings, migrate seasonally to exploit suitable breeding and winter habitats. Green lacewings are important natural enemies of insect pests worldwide.

Green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) are commonly associated with a diversity of rickettsial endosymbionts [PDF]
Zoological Letters, 2017 Background Bacterial symbionts transmitted from mothers to offspring are found in the majority of arthropods. Numerous studies have illustrated their wide impact on host biology, such as reproduction, behavior, and physiology One of the most common ...

Species- and context-dependent responses of green lacewings suggest a complex ecological role for methyl salicylate (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) [PDF]
Scientific ReportsHerbivore-induced plant volatiles (HIPVs) are important semiochemicals in multitrophic plant-insect interactions, attracting natural enemies of phytophagous insects.

Low-Coverage Whole Genomes Reveal the Higher Phylogeny of Green Lacewings [PDF]
Insects, 2021 Green lacewings are one of the largest families within Neuroptera and are widely distributed all over the world. Many species within this group are important natural predators that are widely used for the biological control of pests in agricultural ...

European Journal of Entomology, 2006 At five sites in Hungary and Italy, traps baited with phenylacetaldehyde caught significantly higher numbers (10 to 100 times more) of green lacewings than unbaited traps, which demonstrates that this compound is an attractant.

Kymachrysa, a new genus of Nearctic Green Lacewings (Neuroptera, Chrysopidae, Chrysopini) [PDF]
ZooKeys, 2014 Two North American species of green lacewings have undergone a number of changes in their generic assignments and are currently classified as incertae sedis. Here we demonstrate that adults (both sexes) and larvae of these species share a set of features

Pharmacophagy in green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae: Chrysopa spp.)? [PDF]
PeerJ, 2016 Green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) are voracious predators of aphids and other small, soft-bodied insects and mites. Earlier, we identified (1R,2S,5R,8R)-iridodial from wild males of the goldeneyed lacewing, Chrysopa oculata Say, which is released

Host plant-specific volatiles of Beauveria bassiana-colonized plants initiate trophic plant-aphid-predator cascades. [PDF]
Pest Manag SciEndophytic colonization of melon plants by B. bassiana modifies the crop volatile profiles in a genotype‐dependent manner. A predator choice is biased toward endophytically colonized plants infested with aphids revealing a guardian within effect of the fungus of great potential in integrated pest management.

Seasonal adaptations of green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)
European Journal of Entomology, 2005 Seasonal adaptations of green lacewings (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) and their role in the control of aphid populations are discussed. The chrysopids of temperate zones face seasonal changes and must escape cyclic adversity.

A preventive strategy for the control of aphids in sweet pepper using lacewings and micrococcinelid beetles. [PDF]
Insect SciAphids pose a serious risk to horticultural crops. Current biocontrol strategies often fail due to the poor establishment of natural enemies when aphids are scarce. We evaluated the potential of two aphidophagous predators, Micromus variegatus and Scymnus interruptus, to be used as preventive biocontrol agents, released before aphid infestation.
