Cydalima perspectalis damage

Cydalima perspectalis larvae consume boxwood foliage and leave webbing on the leaves. With multiple generations per year, high populations can strip boxwoods to the leaf veins and cause plant mortality. Shown here are various forms of damage C. perspectalis larvae can cause, ranging from partial to severe defoliation.
