Invasive (Invasive Species Specialist Group (Unknown). Invasive Species Listed for Montserrat. Dataset.)); Biological impacts: Causes Galling To New Growth On White Cedar, It Can Be An Important Pest And Even Kill Young Plants (Malumphy, C. (2020). Annotated list of invertebrates observed in Montserrat, West Indies, November 2019. FERA); It Causes Severe Galling Of New Growth Of Tabebuia Spp., Especially White Cedar (T. Heterophylla). This Can Be An Important Pest And Even Kill Young Plants.([2019 Malumphy] Montserrat Invertebrate Species List Version 3. August 2023. Dataset); Will Feed On Almost Any Terrestrial Animal And Compete With Native Amphibians For Food And Breeding Habitats. Their Toxic Secretions Are Known To Cause Illness And Death In Domestic Animals That Come Into Contact With Them, Such As Dogs And Cats, And Wildlife Such As Snakes And Lizards.
