In short
Commonly known as Amasiinya in Luganda, the pests, almost the size of caterpillars are known to inflict serious damage on oil palm trees as a result of its feeding activity that bores into the base of the cluster of unopened fronds. This activity produces holes on the petioles and V shaped cuts on leaves as they unfold, causing major crop loss in plantations.
