Les légionnaires bertha ne s'attaquent pas aux céréales, mais causent parfois des dégâts considérables aux cultures à feuilles larges [...] Elles se nourrissent de feuilles ou de gousses pendant que la récolte est sur pied ou en andains, réduisant ainsi considérablement les rendements. Des pulvérisations d'insecticides protègent les récoltes contre ces insectes. 3, record 1, French, - l%C3%A9gionnaire%20bertha
