I believe lacewings hibernate in tubes just like ladybirds. I have some rubber hose about 12ft long, no use to man nor (I thought) beast, if I cut that up, do you think they may take up residence? |

You can make your own lacewing house using remnants of old canes tied in bundles and placed about the garden. If you saw them off neatly it looks a bit more decorative but the lacewings aren't fussy!
I think rubber hose might get a bit damp for them. I have seen it done with bundles of dried grass etc but you have to make a pitched waterproof roof over it with some planking etc.

So basically if we put up a ladybird house we might actually get lacewings instead, or as well as ladybirds?
