Lace Bug

Typically found on the undersides of leaves of specific host plants (e.g., azaleas, oaks, or sycamores) in gardens, parks, and forests.

They use piercing-sucking mouthparts to feed on plant sap from the undersides of leaves, causing "stippling" or yellow spotting on the top surface.

Nymphs and adults often congregate together; they are slow-moving and go through incomplete metamorphosis. They are known for their intricate, lace-like wing patterns.

Generally harmless to humans but can be a nuisance pest for ornamental plants; heavy infestations may cause significant leaf discoloration or premature leaf drop.
