Corythucha confraterna
In 3 days ~10%
Corythucha confraterna, known as the sycamore lace bug, is a species of lace bug in the family Tingidae. It is found in Central America and North America. Active from spring to autumn, they gather under leaves and feed on plant sap, causing the leaves to wilt and be shed early. They feed not only on sycamore trees but also ash, hickory and mulberry trees. During the winter, they shelter in bark crevices, under fallen leaves or anywhere protected near their food sources.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Western Sycamore Lace Bug is recorded against all the insects logged in Los Angeles (20 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
