I have been having a continued attack by aphids on my window sill chilis. I tried manually removing them but it was futile. Winged ones fly in and multiply quickly. Insecticidal soap was unsuccessful as my chilis didn't like that. After 2 weeks of that I finally accepted I need help for this in the form of the merciless special forces: Chrysoperla carnea larvae!
Otherwise known as the Common Green Lacewing larva these brutal helpers will hunt and eat aphids, thrips, spidermites, whitefly and more.
Here are three pictures of them. The second one shows one eating an aphid.
