Common green lacewings are of high economic importance as agents of biological control, in particular against aphids in orchards. This taxon is also available commercially: adults, larvae and eggs can be purchased from companies rearing natural enemies. Due to the importance of these species, several research groups work on the development of an effective attractant. Recently a ternary blend was found to attract both males and females of lacewings more effectively than previously reported compounds. Furthermore, eggs were also observed in the vicinity of the baits, which suggested that this combination may help to manipulate lacewing oviposition site choice. As lacewings are known to prefer hairs and spines of plants for oviposition, artificial surfaces were tested with the ternary bait to see whether numbers of eggs laid can be increased with appropriate surface characteristics. As it was shown in field studies both the bait and the surface affected numbers of eggs laid. In 2013 and 2014 we have realized a test to evaluate aspects of the oviposition behavior of these insects. The test was run in an organic peach/apricot orchard. Preliminary results show a significantly increased number of eggs laid if the attractant is placed on a spiny, rough surface.
