  Thanks Ferdy. I don't remember how this was taken, but I'm sure all the elegance in it is the moth's work ;o) Posted 4 years ago

The Codling moth

The codling moth is a member of the Lepidopteran family Tortricidae. They are major pests to agricultural crops, mainly fruits such as apples and pears. Because the larvae are not able to feed on leaves, they are highly dependent on fruits as a food source and thus have a significant impact on crops.
