Tingidae are plant feeders that live mostly on the lower surface of the leaves of living plants. Characteristics of Tingidae are the thin lacy outgrowths of the pronotum and the delicate lacelike texture of the forewings. Of the ineffable wonders of insect kinds, none surpasses the Lacebugs in the diversity and oddities of forms adorned with fancy lace design. Common name of Tingidae is Lacebugs because of the raised reticulation on the pronotum and forewings. They are phytophagous and often gregarious near the egg masses from which they have emerged.
