Abstract
Atomacera decepta larvae cause severe defoliation to a hybrid of Hibiscus Moscheutos known as "Henderson''s strain." The life cycle of this sawfly requires about 28 days and there may be 6 or more generations annually. Adults emerge in early May and oviposit in the leaf tissue.This publication has 1 reference indexed in Scilit:
