Two USDA entomologists at Texas A&M University released Chrysopa larvae in a cotton field, achieving a 96 percent reduction of bollworms and tobacco budworms. The green lacewing larva, also called aphid lions, demonstrated tolerance to insecticides while pairing with natural predation to curb pest damage.
