Japanese honeysuckle is considered bad for the environment and ecosystems because it is an invasive species that grows rapidly and outcompetes native plants for resources like sunlight, water, and nutrients. This can disrupt the balance of the ecosystem, reduce biodiversity, and harm native plant species and wildlife.
The Japanese honeysuckle can be eaten by various insects such as aphids, caterpillars, and leafhoppers. Additionally, deer and rabbits may also consume Japanese honeysuckle plants.
Common names for honeysuckle include woodbine, sweet breath of spring, and goat's leaf.
