Hurt Plant

Berberis Sawfly inflicts harm on barberry plants predominantly through leaf tissue consumption. The damage is characterized by chewed foliage, which can result in diminished photosynthesis, hindering the plant's growth and reducing overall vigor. This feeding activity can lead to a ragged appearance in the foliage and potential defoliation if the damage is severe.
