Symptoms: |
Leafrollers in general are solitary and web a leaf so that the leaf appears rolled or folded. Once the leaf is rolled, the insect feeds inside. The rolled/webbed leaf also offers the leafroller some protection from predators as well as insecticides. In severe cases, individual leaves will turn brown or lace-like due to the feeding of the caterpillar. |
Cycle: |
After the caterpillar pupates in the rolled leaf, the adult moth emerges to mate and lay eggs. |
Management: |
Usually damage is too scattered and slight to warrant control. |
