Ladybugs and lacewing larvae seem to be the most common. Though given how many eggs are in one WBC egg mass, they have a lot of feeding to do to help reduce infestations. Perhaps overtime the predators will realize there is something to feed on in corn and build up their numbers, like they have done for us in soybeans. Hi Don

Looked like one had hatched or predators had cleaned it out. Are there any predators? Didn't see larvae. Several egg masses found in Alvinston today.
