Choristoneura rosaceana
Pest description and damage The oblique-banded leafroller larvae roll and tie leaves together for shelter and feeding. The newly hatched larvae first surface mine leaves, then roll and tie the leaves together. They are first detected by an abundance of feeding holes in leaves. The larvae are green caterpillars with a light brown to black head. Mature larvae range from 0.75 to 1.0 inch in length. When disturbed, they thrash about violently, wriggle backwards, and may drop from the leaf suspended by a silken thread. Their feeding on growing points on young plants can promote undesirable branching. The adult moth has a wingspan of between 0.75 and 1 inch,
