Hurt Plant

Tabby knot-horn moth damages plants primarily through feeding activities. It bores into and chews the tissues of stems and roots, leading to the disruption of nutrient and water transport within the plant. This damage compromises the plant's structural integrity and can result in stunted growth, reduced vigor, and in severe cases, plant death.
