Eastern Sycamore Lace Bug (Corythucha ciliata)Observer
arnelDescription
Three Sycamore Lace Bugs (Corythucha ciliata), photographed on the trunk of a London Plane Tree (Platanus x hispanica) near the intersection of Blossom Lane and Evelyn Avenue in Mountain View, CA. The white, lacy appearance of these insects, as well as their strong association with sycamore trees (genus Platanus), are diagnostic. No other lace bugs are known to associate with sycamores.
