It arrived quickly and the packaging was great. I spread the larvae and have not seen any lacewings. I live in the Phoenix area so maybe it’s the heat? Too hot?

LOVE the lacewings!
I am SO pleased with my purchase. My gladiolus and roses have been plagued by thrips and aphids the past few years. I'd tried a bunch of other home remedies to get them gone, but nothing really worked. Two orders of the lacewings, and not a thrip or aphid to be seen, and my glads are finally coming up healthy!

after a week zero results (going after white flies) I see a couple of miniscule white dots, guessing these are the bugs, that don't look like they could eat one white fly.
