Adults and larvae are herbivorous on various host plants. Zygogramma exclamationis is a pest species of sunflower crops in North America.[3] At least two species have also been used as a form of biological pest control: Zygogramma bicolorata was introduced to India as a biocontrol agent for the weed Parthenium hysterophorus,[4] and Zygogramma suturalis was introduced to Russia as a control for Ambrosia artemisiifolia (common ragweed).[5]
