But they left their eggs. :-)  I've had a good population now for 
several years. When I dumped my lot, I put them onto some grapvine 
leaves that were covered in Aphids.

Feed them and they will at least leave some progeny.

You can also, as I said, purchase lacewing eggs. That way you get the 
best predatory stage. The larvae.
