Plant Bug and Leafhopper Injury on Honeylocust
Plant bugs and leafhoppers are small green insects that
often occur together on honeylocust.
The insects overwinter as eggs that were laid in woody
tissue. The adults are present from late May until early
July. Only one generation occurs each year.
The injury becomes most apparent by the end of June or
early July. The leaflets are speckled and distorted. If
the infestation is heavy the leaves will drop and plants
may be completely bare except at the branch tips.
