• The larvae feed on all plant parts but prefer to eat flowers and beans.

• The black hole appears on the affected pod and larvae appear hanging out of the pod while eating.

• The tiny larvae feed the chlorophyll by scratching of leaves, which causes the leaves to become skeletal.

• In the severe stage of infection, the leaf falls down and the plant dies.
