Lace Bug

Typically found on the undersides of leaves on ornamental plants, shrubs, and trees such as azaleas, rhododendrons, and oaks.

Herbivorous; they use piercing-sucking mouthparts to feed on the sap from the undersides of leaves, causing "stippling" or chlorosis.

They are known for their slow movement and distinct lace-like wings. They often leave dark, varnish-like fecal spots on the undersides of leaves where they feed and lay eggs along the leaf veins.

They are considered garden pests as they can cause significant aesthetic damage to foliage. They do not bite humans or pets and have no medical significance, but can weaken heavily infested plants.
