Lace bug

Lives on the undersides of leaves, especially on shrubs and trees that serve as host plants.

Pierces leaf cells and sucks plant sap, often leaving pale stippling or discoloration.

Adults and nymphs commonly feed in groups beneath leaves; eggs are inserted into leaf tissue, and several generations may occur in a year.

Can damage ornamental and crop plants during heavy infestations, but poses no direct threat to people or pets.
