Lace Bugs
Latin Name: Corythucha pergandei
Common Name: Alder lace bug
Other Names: N/A
Pest Details
Origin:
This is a native insect in North America.
Biology:
In cold regions the bugs will be dormant through the winter as either adults hidden under crevices in the bark or in piles of fallen leaves, or as eggs laid within the tissues of the leaves of evergreen trees. In the spring eggs hatch, the new nymphs undergo several stages over about a 6 week period, and the winged adults appear. Several generations can be expected each year. They feed by means of a proboscis that is inserted into the leaves and fluids are removed. Extensive feeding leads to chlorosis and a general mottled or stippled look to the leaves, along with heavy accumulations of dark fecal droplets.
Identification:
The presence of lace bugs may be noted by the mottled look to the leaves, along with the insects and the characteristic black fecal spotting on the undersides
