Pests, Diseases & DisordersDo adult lacewing counts measure the predation occurring on a mango tree?
Many adult green lacewings use nectar, honeydew, or other foods rather than feeding like their predatory larvae. Record larvae and actual prey interactions when assessing biological control instead of relying only on adults attracted to lights. Adult presence can indicate potential recruitment, but the feeding stage on the tree and the pest trend are the more relevant observations.
