ID 314665950 © Yunlongchao | Megapixl.com
Pieris virginiensis, commonly known as the Virginia pine sawfly, is a small, striking insect that often feeds on the leaves of various pine species. However, it is not typically associated with Citrus japonica, which is the scientific name for the kumquat tree. These trees are more commonly found in subtropical regions and are not a typical host for Pieris virginiensis. If you're observing these insects on your kumquat leaves, it's possible they may be a different species of sawfly or a similar-looking insect. It's essential to properly identify the insect to determine the best course of action for management, as some sawflies can cause damage to plants if present in large numbers.
