Nymphs of citrus cicada can cause mild to severe damage by sucking fluids from the roots and stems of trees and shrubs. This feeding activity can weaken host plants, leading to reduced vigor and sometimes death. In high populations, plants may exhibit significant decline, with visible signs of distress that could indirectly affect human enjoyment of gardens and landscapes.
