Acharia nesea

A species of Saddleback caterpillar moths and allies

Acharia nesea larvae pose risks to plants by consuming leaf tissues, causing holes and defoliation. This damage hinders photosynthesis, potentially stunting growth and reducing plant yield or aesthetic value.

Mild to Severe

When acharia nesea larvae feed, they chew plant tissues, primarily focusing on leaves. As a result, the foliage of the host plants undergoes physical destruction, which can encompass holes and defoliation. These injuries impede photosynthesis and can lead to reduced plant vigor, potential growth stunting, and decreased yield or aesthetic value.
