Adult lace bugs can be found hibernating on ash trees during the winter, and during the spring, nymphs begin to emerge.

[3] L. minor differs from other common lace bugs in that they are generally a light-reddish brown and can grow up to 2 mm (excluding antennae).

They are compact in body form but lack the lacy lateral lobes of other lace bug species.

The average length of the egg stage late in August in cellophane cages was 14 days.

Eggs usually begin appearing late in April with generations continually maturing every month until October.
