One of 2000 species.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>Most species have one or two generations per year. Some, however, have multiple generations. Most species overwinter as adults. Some species overwinter as eggs or nymphs. Species in this group, have incomplete metamorphosis as the incomplete phases of the insect resemble those of the adult insect. The difference is that the immature insects are smaller and without wings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The insect life cycle lasts from 30 to 40 days. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the spring, adult insects fly to host trees and begin feeding on the new leaves. They mate and lay clusters of small eggs on the underside of the leaves near the central leaf vein.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Some species will not lay their eggs deep in the leaf tissue. Others lay them deep and seal them with a brown substance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The eggs will hatch into nymphs after about 2 weeks. The nymphs feed for 3 to 4 weeks and go through 5 stages as they grow. They leave their skins attached to the underside of the foliage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Once they become adults in winged insects, they will mate and lay a second generation of eggs that will produce new insects that will feed until late summer and early fall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The adults have needle-like mouthparts that they use to suck the sap from the underside of the leaves. The corresponding upper part of the leaves becomes discoloured and ceases to be green.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The black spots seen on the lower part of the leaves are the insect&#8217;s apocryphae.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Sources<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Tingidae\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"Tingidae (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">Tingidae<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/gardenerspath.com\/how-to\/disease-and-pests\/control-lace-bugs\/\" target=\"_blank\" aria-label=\"How to identify and control lace bugs (opens in a new tab)\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener nofollow\" class=\"ek-link\">How to identify and control lace bugs<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>If you see many small black spots under the leaves on pears, quince, apple trees, eggplants and the leaves on the top are discoloured and lose their green colour, then you have an infestation of Tingidae (Lace Bugs).
