Abstract	The damage caused by herbivores can be confused with the drop of necrotic spots due to hypersensitive reactions. The negative impact of sessile herbivores on host plants is minimized by hypersensitive reactions that result in the death of attacked tissue. We reported a phenomenon that remarkably resembles herbivore damage, but is in fact a reaction to endophytic herbivores or pathogens. Although the damages on Tapirira guianensis leaves (Anacardiaceae) appear to be chew marks from herbivores, they are in fact dropped necrotic spots caused by gall-inducing insects. The phenomenon is widespread and challenges the view that gall-inducing insects inflict less damage on host plants, which was previously stated according to the rates of herbivory inflicted by free-feeding herbivores. The study highlights the need to reassess the past evaluations for some plant species, as they may have overestimated herbivory rates.
