The oviposition occurs on superficial tissues, and when the eggs hatch (Meyer, 1987; Miller, 2005), the larvae chew plant cells, and enter the host plant organ. The nutritive cells accumulate lipids and are capable of self-regeneration (Meyer, 1987; Ferreira & Isaias, 2013; Vecchi et al, 2013; Ferreira et al., 2015).
