Choristoneura rosaceana

Adults of the obliquebanded leafroller are bell-shaped, up to 1 inch long, tan to brown, with broad bands on the wings. The larvae are green caterpillars with a light brown to black head. As the name leafroller implies, the larvae roll and tie leaves together for shelter and feeding. They thrash about violently when disturbed, and may drop from the leaf suspended by a silken thread. Their feeding on growing points on young plants can promote undesirable branching.
