Harmful Effects of Scarce chocolate-tip

Clostera anachoreta

A species of Clostera

Scarce chocolate-tip larvae pose risks to poplar and willow trees by causing defoliation, stunted growth, and decreased vigor due to their feeding habits. Severe infestations can potentially lead to tree mortality.

Damage Level

Mild to Severe

When scarce chocolate-tip larvae feed, they chew on the leaves of poplar and willow trees, leading to defoliation. This can cause stunted growth due to the reduced photosynthetic capacity of the plants. In the case of severe infestation, the stress on the trees can lead to decreased overall vigor and potential mortality.
