They have a fairly successful pre-production rate, so it is not strange that they end up with plant organisms in a short time, since being more
they end up absorbing all the liquids of the plant faster, even damaging fruits when they invade fruit trees, causing serious damage to agriculture.

^{Tienen una tasa de preproducción bastante exitosa por lo que no es extraño que terminen en poco tiempo con organismos vegetales, puesto que al ser más terminan mas rápido absorbiendo todos los liquidos de la planta, incluso llegan a dañar frutos cuando invaden árboles frutales causando un grave daño a la agricultura.}
