Lace Bug

Found on the undersides of leaves of various ornamental plants and trees like azaleas, rhododendrons, and oaks.

Plant-feeding; they use piercing-sucking mouthparts to drain chlorophyll from leaf cells, causing stippling or yellowing.

Adults are characterized by lace-like wings; they often congregate in large numbers on a single plant and leave dark, resinous spots of excrement on the foliage.

Primarily an ornamental pest that can cause aesthetic damage or weaken plants; they pose no significant risk to humans or animals.
