This is the most serious pest of apple trees. Adult moths are 0.5 inches across, with alternating gray and white stripes on the wings and a copper stripe on the wingtips. The eggs are very small and are rarely seen.

The larvae perforate the fruit, leaving a characteristic tunnel full of excrement that exits through the hole on the fruit surface. The entrance holes can be anywhere on the fruit, affecting your apple harvest greatly.
