The insect feathered Diamond-Back causes damage by chewing plant tissues, primarily the leaves. Plants belonging to the Rosaceae, Salicaceae, and Betulaceae families, such as apples, roses, willows, and birches, exhibit the consequences of feathered Diamond-Back's feeding activity. This results in defoliation and potential hindrance to photosynthesis, weakening the plants over time.
