Although many aphids die as a result, many will survive and migrate to other plants to begin new colonies [...] aphids produce a mummy similar to that of Aphidius spp. The aphids do not die at once but usually continue to feed and secrete honeydew. Second and third
which can be seen when the stems are cut. In banana, whole plantations may die and the soil may not be suitable for planting for many years to come. Life
as more cell sap is removed, the leaf, and eventually the whole plant, may die. In tomatoes and cucumbers, as little as 30% damage of the leaf surface can

the larvae only feed on green fruits. In case of serious infection, leaves die off completely. Mining by the caterpillar causes malformations. Damage to
