Hi, i have studied sycamore trees and their insects/pests, but i am not
sure whether or not lace bugs exist in the UK. i know their are in
America. Can any one help me out?
thanks!


In America the sycamore refers to Platanus occidentalis, but in Europe
the sycamore is a maple, Acer pseudoplatanus. I don't know of anything
in the UK or Europe called a lace bug that attacks our sycamore. Aphids
can be a problem, the flowers are sometimes infested with rape seed beetles.
