The plane lace bug has reemerged in the UK after 18 years, raising concerns due to its sap-sucking behavior, which threatens the health of plane trees.
Experts warn that the plane lace bug not only damages trees but also presents a risk to their nutritional health, making them vulnerable to diseases and pest infestations.
The Woodland Trust is mobilizing volunteers to track the spread of these bugs, as their presence can indicate declining tree health and environmental stresses.
Despite its small size, the plane lace bug poses a nuisance to people in parks by occasionally biting, resulting in mild rashes.
