The mouthparts of sucking insects are developed
for piercing and sucking. These pests damage
plants by inserting their mouthparts into plant
tissue and removing juices. Heavily infested
plants become yellow, wilted, deformed or
stunted, and may eventually die. Some sucking
insects inject toxic materials into the plant while
feeding, and some transmit disease organisms.
