Predators
Some of the predators of the Water Hyacinth are:
- Mottled Water Hyacinth Weevil (Neochetina eichhorniae) - both adults and larvae feed on the Water Hyacinth
- Chevroned Water Hyacinth Weevil (Neochetina bruchi) - this Weevil has a similar effect as the Mottled Water Hyacinth Weevil
- Argentine Water Hyacinth Moth (Sameodes albiguttalis) - the larvae feed on the plant and the cocoons are weaved in the leaf stems
