CHRYSOPA contains lacewing larvae. They prefer to eat aphids, but can also eat other insects and mites, including beneficial species. Adult lacewing feed on pollen, nectar and honeydew. The larvae are nocturnal and hide underneath the plant during the day. Larvae hunt by grappling prey and injecting them with saliva which helps with the digestion. After this process, the contents of the prey is eaten. A larva can eat on average 300-400 aphids of different sizes. 
Besides aphids, CHRYSOPA can also hunt other pests like mealybugs, whitefly and thrips.
