Lace bug

Typically found on the undersides of leaves of specific host plants, including shrubs and trees in gardens and forested areas.

Herbivorous; they use piercing-sucking mouthparts to feed on the sap (cell contents) of leaves, often causing stippling or bleaching.

They are relatively sedentary and often live in colonies on the undersides of leaves. They undergo incomplete metamorphosis (egg, nymph, adult).

Generally considered a plant pest as heavy infestations can damage ornamental plants; they are not harmful to humans or pets but can cause unsightly damage to foliage.
