Hurt Plant

The caterpillar stage of oriental three striped satin moth causes significant harm to oak, willow, poplar, and ash by chewing plant tissues. This feeding activity results in visible damage to leaves and fruits, manifesting as defoliation and compromised fruit integrity. As the larvae consume the foliage, affected trees endure stress, which can lead to reduced photosynthesis, stunted growth, and if infestation is severe, might even result in the death of the host plants.
