Hurt Plant

The hook-tipped amyna moth causes significant damage to Amaranthus and Polygonum species through feeding activity, specifically by chewing plant tissues. The leaves and stems of the host plants show the most noticeable changes, where the insect's feeding results in defoliation and potential weakening of the plant structure. Over time, this can lead to stunted growth and reduced vigor, affecting the plant's overall health and productivity.
