Cydia pomonella

Codling moth (Cydia pomonella) is the most serious pest of apples and pears in New Zealand. Adults lay eggs on or near fruits and the larvae burrow their way into the fruit. It is critical to control the larva before it enters the fruit as presence in fruit is a quarantine pest in several key export markets.
