Oak lace bugs damage the tree by feeding on the sap in the leaves in a similar way to aphids.
Oak lace bugs are regarded as a nuisance pest which causes only incidental damage and, occasionally, premature leaf fall. Its effects, therefore, are largely aesthetic and do not reduce the tree’s ability to store starches and sugars during much of the summer. Infested trees are usually able to perform adequate photosynthesis.
Oak lace bugs create little sucking marks on leaves that mimic a leaf scorch. The first signs of feeding damage are small, yellow spots on the upper surfaces of leaves, often concentrated around the leaf veins.
