Damage Level

Mild to Severe

When red-nosed lanternfly infests in small numbers, minor leaf wilting or yellowing occurs, causing negligible damage. However, in severe infestations, plants experience significant wilting, stunted growth, and reduced yields, leading to economic losses. Their penchant for sucking plant fluids can weaken crops and make them more susceptible to diseases, negatively impacting agricultural production and food supply.
