Damage Level
Mild to Severe
When hypercompe oslari infests a plant, it causes harm primarily through feeding activities. This insect chews on plant tissues, which impacts both leaves and stems. As a result of this feeding, affected plants undergo physical damage with signs of defoliation and possibly structural weakening of the stems. The consistent chewing can lead to a reduction in the plant's ability to photosynthesize and impede normal growth and development.
