Lace Bug

Typically found on the undersides of leaves of various trees and shrubs, including azaleas, oaks, and sycamores.

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 characteristic dark, varnish-like waste spots.

Generally harmless to humans, though they can be minor plant pests. They do not bite or sting people but can cause aesthetic damage to ornamental garden plants.
