cardui |
||
| Lacebugs are small insects, which have beautifully sculptured wings and pronutum. Together these produce the lace-like patterning, from which they derive their name. Lacebugs belong to the Tingidae family and are plant feeders. This Spear Thistle Lacebug measures around 4.5mm in length and was actually found on Creeping Thistle at Budby South Forest in September 2009. The adults overwinter. | ||
