Mild to Severe

When eumeta minuscula feeds on host plants, it chews through plant tissues, primarily affecting leaves and stems. This feeding behavior results in destructive changes, such as irregular holes and defoliation, which impede the plant’s ability to photosynthesize and can lead to stunted growth or even plant death if the damage is severe.
