Hurt Plant

When cosmopepla decorata feeds on asters and goldenrod, it uses its mouthparts to pierce the plant tissues—leaves, stems, and fruits—sucking out vital fluids. This action results in wilting, stunted growth, and potential deformities in the plant structure. Over time, the vigor of the plants is significantly diminished, impacting their overall health and survivability.
