Codling moth apples

These species are major pests of apples, pears and stone fruit. Rather than feeding on leaves, the larvae tunnel into developing fruit, leaving entry holes and causing fruit to become distorted or rot prematurely. Gardeners often discover the damage only when harvesting affected fruit.
