Mild to Severe
When white-blotched heterocampa larvae feed, they chew on the leaves of their host plants, primarily oaks (Quercus). The result of this activity is the defoliation of the tree, which can lead to reduced photosynthesis, stunted growth, and in severe cases, may contribute to the decline of the host plant's health or even mortality if repeated defoliation occurs over successive years.
