Harmful Effects of Biston regalis

Biston regalis

A species of Biston

Biston regalis larvae can cause defoliation of broad-leaved trees, leading to weakened or dead trees. High larval densities significantly impact forest health and productivity, with potential repercussions for related industries.

Feeding
Damage Level
Mild to Severe
Larvae of biston regalis feed on the leaves of broad-leaved trees, which can result in defoliation ranging from mild to severe. Low populations may only cause minimal damage, but high densities can lead to significant defoliation, weakening trees and potentially leading to their death. This can have downstream effects on forest ecosystems and associated industries.

Damage Level
Mild to Severe
When biston regalis larva feeds, it chews through the plant tissues of oak and hornbeam, primarily damaging leaves and fruits. This feeding results in defoliation and scarred fruit surfaces, which can stunt growth, diminish photosynthesis, and lead to potential crop losses. The insect's voracious appetite affects the plant's overall health and productivity.
