Corythucha marmorata (Marbled lace Bug)

The pattern seems right for Corythucha marmorata but the spots are black instead of the typical brown. Photos of Corythucha marmorata at Bug Guide show a range of variability in coloration although most are brown. On Shining Aster (Symphyotrichum firmum).

These species are so awesome. I still have never photographed an adult one. Posted 5 years ago

  I've only seen an adult once and didn't get a shot of it. I'd love to find one again someday, they are so cool. Great find, Gary! Posted 5 years ago

    It seems late summer is the best time to find fully grown individuals. I've seen them on goldenrods and asters. Posted 5 years ago

      I went out and looked around yesterday...didn't find any lacebugs, but I did find lots of other cool insects on the goldenrod! I've also heard that lacebugs are often found on sycamore leaves. We have lots of sycamore here, so I've been looking. I am determined to find a lacebug...someday ;P Posted 5 years ago

        Goldenrods are insect heaven around here. We've got lots of syrphid flies on them now at least as long as it is warm out (like today). Good luck on your lace bug hunting! Posted 5 years ago
