Blepharidopterus chlorionis
Description and crop damage These small (about 0.15 inch in length) green plant bugs overwinter in the egg stage. As honeylocust buds expand, eggs hatch and nymphs feed on new growth. Adults are found a month after nymphs first appear; they too feed on new growth. Feeding can cause stippling and growth distortion. Heavy feeding can cause defoliation. There is one generation per year.
