As the subject suggests, does anyone here use Green Lacewings in their grow room?

I have an organic no-till flowering room and I would like to introduce some beneficial predators if possible. I know that ladybugs are attracted to HID lighting, so they're not going in there, but I saw an article online that suggested using Green Lacewings as a better alternative.

I can't find any articles relating to whether the adults will all suicide or not under HID.

Thoughts? Experiences? Suggestions?

Thanks guys ;)

do you have an aphid or other bug problem? if you don't there really is no purpose to introducing the lacewings... they'll just starve!

A lacewing won’t help unless it lays eggs. It is the lacewing larvae that are bad ass aphid hunters.

Actually beat back the borg once wtih larvae. Works best if scrog or lst and the plants are touching for easy access for the larvae. That said it didnt rid me of them completely that took a nuke them from space option and shutting down my grow for a year.
