Hurt Plant

Upon feeding, calligrapha bidenticola inflicts harm primarily to the leaves of its host plant. This damage occurs as the insect chews through plant tissues, resulting in holes or larger areas of missing foliage. Such defoliation can reduce photosynthesis, weaken the plant, and, in severe cases, may lead to reduced growth or even plant death.
