When carbula crassiventris feeds on plants, it uses its piercing mouthparts to suck fluids from leaves and fruits. This action results in the deprivation of vital nutrients and water, weakening the host plants. The feeding sites may exhibit discoloration or distortion, and in fruits, this can lead to reduced market value due to visual impairments.
