Agramma laetum Family: Tingidae Unlike other lacebugs, this is the only species in which the lateral margins of the pronutum are not expanded and reticulated with a lace-like mesh. The pronotum also lacks the characteristic keels of other Tingids. The head, antennae and middle of the pronotum are black, while the forewings and front of the pronotum are yellow-brown. The legs are reddish. This very small bug is common throughout southern Britain in many habitats, and is thought to uses rushes as a hostplant. Adults may be found throughout the year.  Adult: All year Length 2-2.5 mm
