Abstract

The cotton leafperforator specializes on a single food plant (the leaves of cotton, Gossypium spp.) as is characteristic of most congeneric species (see Braun 1963). Its first three larval instars are miners that cause relatively little damage, but the fourth and fifth instars inflict considerable damage while feeding externally on the leaf's surface. Cotton plants heavily infested with the cotton leafperforator can be completely defoliated.
