New perspectives for simultaneous attraction of Chrysoperla and Chrysopa lacewing species for enhanced biological control (Neuroptera: Chrysopidae)

Abstract Green lacewings (Chrysopidae) are important predators of many soft-bodied pest insects, for instance aphids. Previous studies reported attraction of Chrysoperla carnea species-complex to a ternary floral bait. The larvae of these lacewings are important generalist predators in agroecosystem...
