Lace Bug

Commonly found on the underside of leaves of various trees and shrubs in temperate and tropical regions.

Herbivorous, they use piercing-sucking mouthparts to feed on the sap of plant leaves, often causing stippling or bleaching.

They are generally slow-moving and spend most of their life cycle on host plants, with eggs often inserted into leaf tissues or attached with a dark, resinous substance.

While they are plant pests that can cause aesthetic damage to ornamental plants, they are harmless to humans and do not bite or sting.
