Damage Level

Mild to Severe

Upon acronicta pruinosa's feeding, the leaves of various host plants such as Malus, Betula, and Quercus species exhibit significant tissue loss. This insect chews through plant tissues, creating holes or notches on foliage. Such activity can lead to reduced photosynthetic capability, stunted growth, and, in severe cases, increased susceptibility to secondary infections and infestations.
