Lace Bug - Corythucha heidemanni Lace Bug - Corythucha heidemanni

lace bug
Genus Corythucha probably heidemanni Drake. If the leaf showing is a birch leaf or even an elm leaf and the insect was really around 3mm, chances are that it is C. heidemanni.

 
General Tingidae
I am a graduate student at the University of Kentucky. I am working on a taxonomic revision of a group of Braconid wasps. I am in need of specimen(s) of a genus (Holdawayella) which are parasitoids of adult lace bugs of the genus Corythucha. I am hoping you might have a colony with occasional parasitism, or can help me identify probable location to find adults to rear parasitoids from. I cannot find another method to get in touch with you, I would greatly appreciate if you might contact me at Andy.Boring@Uky.edu -- Thank you very much!

 
Corythucha heidemanni
3mm should be accurate. It was tiny, as can be seen in the other picture. It's the dark spot on the bottom part of the leaf. Thanks for another identification.

 
just like it
I have found one just like this on another tree. It is 3mm in length also. The problem is that the tree I found it on in Washington was berring small berries that look like pre-mature crabapples or cranberries. HELP NEEDED. I will be posting a picture of them when i get home from my vacation in a week or so. Please help identify.

 
Host plant specific
Most of these lace bugs need to have the host plant identified to ID the bug. Take a picture of the tree/leaves it was on and post it with the lace bug picture. I don't know these very well, but Laura T Miller seems to the the expert that's visited bugguide.
