About ChrysoLiv (Lacewing Larvae)
ChrysoLiv-L contains the larval stage of Chrysoperla carnea, commonly known as the green lacewing.
The larvae are strong generalist predators, best known for aggressively feeding on aphids, which has earned them the nickname “aphid lions.”
They also target a variety of other soft-bodied pests including thrips, mealybugs, spider mites, and soft scales.
ChrysoLiv-L is a great all-purpose option for preventative control or targeting small pest hotspots in greenhouse crops.

ChrysoLiv (Lacewing Larvae)
ChrysoLiv contains the larval stage of Chrysoperla carnea, commonly known as Green lacewing. It is best known for its ability to control aphids, earning the nickname aphid lion. It is a generalist predator which means it can attack a range of soft-bodied insects and mites, including thrips, mealybugs, spider mites, and soft-scales.
Green Lacewing larvae can take up to 3 days of processing time. Check the shipping page for more details.
Bought 1000 lacewing larvae to take care of an aphid infestation. The "larvae" arrived and I could only see a few moving around but I figured they were just too small to see. I applied it to my plants and after a week, I checked and the aphid population tripled and not one single larvae could be seen. Waste of money.
Purchased in a desperate attempt to fix my severe mealybug infestation that ive been fighting on and off for a year. Package was delivered and on Day 1 i could see some larvae crawling around and was satisfied they hadnt died in transit. I poured my package of 1k larvae on a small number of houseplants. Id read they moved quickly so I was constantly searching for them, saw a little movement of a larvae on Day 4, but otherwise nothing has happened. No change in the number of mealybugs on any plants at all. Not feeling optimistic about trying again.
Unfortunately, my second try with Growliv product hasn't worked out either.
The package arrived in great condition and was well packed (and still cold), but after a few days, I still haven't seen any visible larvae roaming around... just the white-flies sticking around :-/
I was really hoping for better results this time, so I'd appreciate any help or guidance you could offer !
I had a slight issue with my order, but the customer service team was excellent. They responded quickly and resolved the problem right away!
Before purchasing the lacewing larvae, I was dealing with an early brown soft scale infestation. I would find a handful of scales EVERY SINGLE DAY across three of my plants, and I wanted to address the problem before it became more widespread.
The lacewing larvae were active upon arrival. After 4 days, I only found 1 soft scale on 1 plant.
1.5 weeks later, I have not seen any more soft scale pests! While I’ll continue monitoring my plants, the results so far have been encouraging due to the decline of pests in my plants!
Thank you GrowLiv!
I'm super confused about what i paid for because there were no live insects in my package. I dispersed them in the evening the first night a week ago and still no signs of life.
