Hurt Plant

When feralia februalis larvae feed, they chew the pine's leaves, resulting in defoliation. The tissue loss impairs photosynthesis, limiting the plant's growth and vitality. Repeated defoliation by feralia februalis might lead to a declined health of pine trees, potentially rendering them susceptible to secondary infestations and diseases.
