About Lygus

Small, greenish-yellow insects about 1/4 inch long, ash plant bug adults feed on the leaves of ash trees (Fraxinus spp.), causing stippling, yellowing, and distorted growth. These pests are common in Middle Tennessee areas like Franklin and Brentwood, where they can significantly reduce tree vigor if left unmanaged. Regular monitoring and timely treatment help protect your landscape ash trees from extensive damage.

Lygus (Lygus plant bug adult.) is a landscape pest commonly found in Middle Tennessee, including Columbia, Thompson's Station, Spring Hill, and the surrounding areas. This entry is part of our Landscape Pests identification guide.
