I have 4000 green lacewing eggs that I want to put out around my roses. How's the best way to do this? Thanks.

Well I decided to put out the eggs like this:

cut the tops off plastic cups, put the eggs in the bottom of the cups, and set them between a fork in the rose bush, trying to attach to a thorn. Sure hope this helps with the thrip.

If you go to http://www.kunafin.com/english.htm then click on 'lacewings' it tells you a bunch. I think you did ok, it just says to sprinkle the eggs on plants & in the croutch of trees. I bet they find their food in your roses.
