These are called "lace-bugs," from the peculiar net or 

 lace-like covering of the wings and often of the other 

 body parts as well. This renders them easy of recognition, 

 and under a lens of even moderate power they are very 

 pretty insects. 



They are plant feeders and sometimes occur in numbers 

 sufficient to cause some injury to garden plants or shrubs ; 

 but as a field pest they are not of importance and in the 

 garden any of the contact poisons applied in a moderately 

 strong mixture will serve to control them.
