Serendipitous, cross familial discovery of the first long-range chemical attractants for antlions (Neuroptera: Myrmeleontidae): (1R,2S,5R,8R)-Iridodial and Z,E-nepetalactol

Frontiers in Ecology and Evolution, 2015
Synthetic (1R,2S,5R,8R)-iridodial, the key pheromone component of many green lacewings in the genus Chrysopa, strongly attracted adult males and females of the North American antlion, Dendroleon speciosus Banks.

CRISOPÍDEOS (NEUROPTERA: CHRYSOPIDAE): ASPECTOS BIOLÓGICOS, POTENCIAL DE UTILIZAÇÃO E PERSPECTIVAS FUTURAS

Revista Caatinga, 2009
Biological control using natural enemies has become one of the main alternatives to chemical control. Among these enemies, worth highlighting the green lacewings, known for their predatory efficiency and the ability of their larvae to seek out food.

Seasonal Abundance of Aphids and Aphidophagous Insects in Pecan

Insects, 2012
Seasonal occurrence of aphids and aphidophagous insects was monitored for six years (2006–2011) from full leaf expansion in May to leaf fall in October in “Desirable” variety pecan trees that were not treated with insecticides.

Adjacent habitat type affects the movement of predators suppressing soybean aphids.

PLoS ONE, 2019
Landscape complexity influences soybean aphid suppression by generalist predators in North America, but the role of adjacent habitats as sources of these predators has not been studied directly.

Species of Chrysopidae (Neuroptera) associated to trellised tomato crops in two cities of Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil

Arquivos do Instituto Biológico
This research aimed to investigate the diversity of species of lacewings (Chrysopidae) associated to trellised tomato crops in the counties of Cambuci and Seropédica, in Rio de Janeiro State, Brazil. Eggs and adults of chrysopids were collected, manually

Population genetics of Chrysoperla externa (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae) and implications for biological control

Brazilian Journal of Biology
Green lacewings are insects with great potential to be use in the biological control of agricultural pests, but relatively few studies have attempted to understand the genetic structure of these agents, especially those of predatory insects.

Biological Solutions for Higher Maize Yield and Reduced Stalk Damage Caused by the European Corn Borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner)

Agronomy
Maize (Zea mays L.) is one of the most important agricultural crops in the world; however, its production is often threatened by several harmful insects, one of which is the European corn borer, Ostrinia nubilalis (Hübner).
