[AG] Re: Bug on Brittlebush

[Sue Bass]

Jennifer:
I haven't noticed a bug fitting this description on my brittlebush.  I would suggest that you try to put a few in a jar or some container and take it to the Cooperative Extension office.  They have a Friday morning diagnostic team that meets and they may be able to help you.  The office is located at: 4341 E. Broadway Road, Phoenix, AZ 85040, (602) 470-8086.

> Can anyone tell me what the lacewing bug is that I am finding on Brittlebush and Sunflowers right now. It is small (not much larger than an aphid) and flat with light colored lacy wings and a black body. There are tons of them and they bite people if disturbed. They do seem to do damage.  I know I read somewhere about an insect that was common on Brittlebush, but I can't find the reference.  Thanks.
