Pest Identification:
Adults (3/4″ย wingspan) of this commonย apple pestย are gray-brown in color and have a darkย patch on the tip of each fore-wing. The larvae are pinkish white maggots (1/2″ย long) that burrow through fruitย directly to the core, leaving brown frass and tunnels.
Grower’s Tip:
For best results, use an integrated approach to pest control. Trichogramma Waspsย will destroy the eggs before tunnelingย larvaeย can appear.
