What's the best predator?

I'm about to go on Amazon & need some advice.
.......Considering that I really don't wanna just feed the songbirds so idk if something as large as p mantises would be the way to go outside- also a cat lives here & I don't need her kittens chasing any winged creatures up the tents leaving claw holes indoors....
We have a tiny caterpillar here that LOVES weed & I have a few veggies goin with the girls so insects certainly abound.....
So. What should I git? Lace wings? Predator mites? P mantises? Ladybugs?
 
Apparently, all they need is lots of water and bugs.
Not sure what a 12s tent is. The internet says it's a big camping tent.
 
Gingerbeard I have a VFT but am worried putting it in my tent. I use a 315W LEC and when I put it under the light for a few hours, the inside of the "traps" had turned red. I didn't want to damage it, so I took it out.
 
The plant isn't supposed to be in direct sunlight so imagine your 315 might be too much. The insides of the mouths are supposed to turn red. It's part of the way they attract food.
 
I've got a lot of QB watts burnin in my flower tent- but just a little Mars TS 1000 in the veg. Might have to give one a try.
 
12s. As in flowering cycle? Okay. I think I got it. What country uses 's' instead of 'h' for hours?

I don't know about the light cycle. It hasn't wound up inside my tent because of the light issue. There is a money tree just outside my tent. It's lousy with fungus gnats. The FG's don't give an GD about the VFT being next to it. Even putting the VFT on top of the MT soil. Even putting a jar over the VFT that is sitting on the MT soil. Might be FG's are too small for the VFT?
 
Idk about the Country- That's just how my brain thinks- 12 on 12 off 12on12off12on12 12 121212.... 12's.
 
Ahhh..... I forgot the apostrophe! Oops sorry.
Punctuation is important! It can be the difference between helping your Uncle Jack, off a horse & helping your Uncle jack off a horse.
 
I'm picking up what you're laying down JDU . But I still wouldn't have known about the 12's. Water under the bridge.

I've been a city boy for most all my life. I have concrete poisoning (or not.) The times I've lived country, I never understood y'alls's fascination with your Uncles or horses and jokes you make about them. Not my place to judge. Never heard a joke about concrete.
 
A fish runs into a concrete wall and yells, "Dam!"

Turns out there are, in fact, zillions of jokes about concrete.

How do you start a concrete race? Ready... set...
 
For a worm or caterpillar, id try and remove them by hand..As a praying mantis rancher..lol..they wouldnt give the worms a second look i dont think. Mantis's seem to be more of a hunter/stalker/killer kinda bug. Where a ladybug just crawls around and eats everything in its path.
