Cherry fruitworm larva feeding inside cherry |
Life Cycle: Overwinter as mature larvae on host. Pupate in spring; moths emerge in early June. Eggs are laid on fruit in which larvae feed to maturity. One generation per year.
Monitoring: No monitoring method has been developed.
Hosts: Cherry.
Comments: Larvae are white to pink caterpillars with distinct black heads. They should not be confused with western cherry fruit fly larvae that have tapered maggot-like bodies with no legs or distinct head. Excreta found at the feeding site and brown trails under the skin indicate the presence of cherry fruitworm larvae.
Body length: Adult - 5.0mm; Mature larva - 7.0mm
