As wilson's wood-nymph moth feeds on its host plants within the Solanaceae and Acanthaceae families, it predominantly chews on leaves and stems. The destruction of plant tissues disrupts photosynthesis and nutrient transport, leading to defoliation, stunted growth, and in severe cases, the death of the plant.
