Lace Bug Nymph (Insidious Flower Bug similar)

Typically found on the undersides of leaves of trees and shrubs, but often hitchhike on clothing or fabrics outdoors.

Lace bugs suck sap from the undersides of leaves; similar-looking 'insidious flower bugs' are predatory and eat mites and aphids.

They are often active in late summer and fall. While they do not feed on humans, they are known to land on skin and occasionally deliver a small, nuisance bite or 'prod' with their piercing-sucking mouthparts.

Generally harmless to humans and do not transmit disease. They can causes stippling damage to ornamental plants and can be a minor annoyance due to their bite when they accidentally land on people.
