Crepe myrtle trees can be affected by several insects, including aphids, which suck sap from the leaves, and scale insects, which can cause leaf discoloration and decline in health. Additionally, spider mites may infest crepe myrtle, leading to stippling on the leaves and webbing. Other pests such as leafcutter bees and various caterpillars may also feed on the foliage. Regular monitoring and management can help protect these ornamental trees from insect damage.
