Leaf Bug Description:
Adult and immature insects are both small, flat elongated insects. Adult leaf bug insects are 3-4mm long and are straw coloured.
Signs of Infestation:
Leaf bugs are sap feeders, they suck sap on the lower surfaces of leaves which cause yellow spots and eventually cause the leaves to yellow and fall off. Severe leaf bug infestations may cause young shoots to die off causing bushy growth.
