The summer fruit tortrix moth and is one of the most devastating pests in pome fruits and stone fruits; apples and pears. The caterpillar can develop on many species of forest tree, but prefers apple or, secondarily, pear, cherry, plum, apricot and red currant. The larvae will not just stick to the leaves, but will do some damage to the fruit as well.
Will also attack longan and lychee leaves.
