St. Johnswort Insects. ... The defoliating Klamath Weed Beetle, Chrysolina quadrigemina, feeds on the foliage of this weed in both the adult and larval stages. The Klamath Weed Beetle has dramatically reduced the abundance and density of this weed in areas where fall temperatures are mild. This biological control agent is responsible for contributing to the impressive decline in St. Johnswort in the Pacific states.
