Chrysanthemum Lace Bug

A small lace bug with mottled brown and white lace-patterned wings that feeds on chrysanthemums, goldenrod, and asters. It is widespread in North America. Heavy feeding produces a bleached, stippled appearance on leaves.

Did You Know?

Like all lace bugs, the nymphs lack the elaborate wing structures of adults and instead appear as small, dark, spiny creatures that look nothing like their parents.

Bornean Green Cicada

A large, bright green cicada with translucent wings and a powerful, resonant call. Males produce a continuous buzzing drone from specialized tymbal organs on the abdomen.
