Lace Bug Nymph

Typically found on the undersides of leaves of various deciduous trees and shrubs such as sycamore, oak, and azalea.

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

Nymphs often congregate on leaf undersides and are frequently covered in dark, sticky spots of excrement known as 'frass.' They undergo incomplete metamorphosis.

They are primarily garden pests that can damage ornamental plants. While they do not prey on humans, they are known to occasionally bite people if they land on skin, causing minor, temporary irritation.
