Lace Bug

Typically found on the undersides of leaves of various trees and shrubs, including sycamore, oak, azalea, and rhododendron.

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

They are known for their intricate, lace-like wing patterns. They often live in colonies on the underside of leaves and leave behind dark, varnish-like spots of excrement.

Generally considered aesthetic pests that cause foliage damage to ornamental plants; they are harmless to humans but can occasionally bite if they land on skin, causing minor irritation.
