What do they look like? This tiny insect with lace wings is visible to the naked eye, and may be found on the reverse of the leaf. You may also see black "droppings" of this insect.
What do they do? The silver/bronze damage on the new spring foliage of azalea is due to the lace bug.
Can we live with them? Yes, but foliage is spoiled and unsightly.
How are they controlled? Spray the foliage in the early morning with Confidor (Yates) or Maxguard. The penetration action of this product gives the plant protection for a short period. Repeat application should be applied each month of spring; September, October and November to ensure your azaleas are protected.
