Mild to Severe

When hieroglyphic moth infests Fabaceae plants, like Desmodium and Wisteria, the feeding activity primarily results in the chewing of plant tissues. This insect's larvae target leaves and fruits, eating away at the surfaces and creating holes. Overtime, this damage can lead to defoliation, compromised photosynthesis, reduced growth, and a decrease in the plant's overall vigor and reproductive capabilities.
