About Corythucha confraterna Gibson, 1918
Corythucha confraterna Gibson, 1918, commonly called the sycamore lace bug, is a species of lace bug belonging to the family Tingidae. This species is distributed across Central America and North America. Sycamore lace bugs are active from spring through autumn. They gather beneath leaves to feed on plant sap, which causes affected leaves to wilt and drop prematurely. While they feed on sycamore trees, they also consume sap from ash, hickory, and mulberry trees. For the winter, they take shelter in bark crevices, under fallen leaves, or any other protected spot located close to their food sources.
