Ladybugs and Lacewing larvae are generalist predators that go after large-bodied aphids exposed on the leaf surface — size doesn't slow them down. Aphidius colemani handles the small-bodied species that tend to tuck into curled leaves and tight new growth, reaching into those hiding spots to parasitize aphids the predators can't get to.\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(140, 198, 63);\"\u003eWhat's In This Pack, and Why\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(238, 126, 46);\"\u003e1,500 Pre-Fed Ladybugs\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eGeneralist predators, active immediately upon release, both as adults and larvae.
