Lacebugs on Oemleria Lacebugs can cause extensive damage on Oemleria, Indian plum. By mid-July much of the foliage is affected, many leaves nearly white from damaged cells. The damage may look similar to that of thrips though generally the fecal spotting is much larger. Lacebugs can also be a problem on azalea, pyracantha, oak, rhododendron (more images available including new shots of the eggs), toyon, and coyote bush.
Stephanitis rhododendri ID photos: Adult Damage Egg Immature Pest description and crop damage Overwinters in egg stage. Eggs are laid in the midrib on the underside of leaves. Eggs hatch in late May or early June. There is probably one generation a year in Oregon. Leaves are yellow and stippled. Undersides of leaves are dirty.
