Tortricidae Genera
The Tortricidae are a family (biology), family of moths, commonly known as tortrix moths or leafroller moths, in the order Lepidoptera. This large family has over 11,000 species described, and is the sole member of the Taxonomic rank, superfamily Tortricoidea, although the genus ''Heliocosma'' is sometimes placed within this superfamily. Many of these are economically important pests. Olethreutinae, Olethreutidae is a junior synonym. The typical resting posture is with the wings folded back, producing a rather rounded profile. Notable tortricids include the codling moth and the spruce budworm, which are among the most well-studied of all insects because of their economic impact. Description Tortricid moths are generally small, with a wingspan of 3 cm or less.Hanson, Paul E. (2018). ''Insects and Other Arthropods of Tropical America''. Cornell University Press. Many species are drab and have mottled and marbled brown colors, but some diurnal species are brightly colored an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bactra Lancealana
''Bactra lancealana'' is a moth of the family Tortricidae found in Europe. The moth has a wingspan of 11–20 mm. The forewings are pale ochreous or ochreous- brownish, costa strigulated with darker ochreous or dark fuscous; a spot in disc at 1/3 and an angular mark beyond middle dark fuscous, often obsolete, sometimes forming a more or less complete dark median streak from base to apex; central fascia sometimes indicated on costa. Hindwings are grey. The larva is greenish or whitish-fleshcolour; head and plate of 2 black.Meyrick, E., 1895 ''A Handbook of British Lepidoptera'' MacMillan, Londopdf Keys and description It is very similar to ''Bactra furfurana''. The moth flies from May to October. ''Bactra lancealana'' larvae mainly feed on various rushes, including ''Juncus'' and ''Scirpus''.

Summer Fruit Tortrix Moth
''Adoxophyes orana'', the summer fruit tortrix, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in the Palearctic realm and Taiwan. The wingspan is 17–22 mm. The moth flies in two generations from May to November. The larvae overwinter in loosely woven cocoons. The larvae feed on various trees and shrubs with a preference for Rosaceous plants, particularly apple (''Malus domestica'') and pear Pears are fruits produced and consumed around the world, growing on a tree and harvested in late summer into mid-autumn. The pear tree and shrub are a species of genus ''Pyrus'' , in the Family (biology), family Rosaceae, bearing the Pome, po ... (''Prunus pyrifolia''). The species is considered a pest due to the damage the larvae do to fruit trees while feeding. ...

Pea Moth
''Cydia nigricana'', the pea moth, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Europe. Description It is a small (15 mm wingspan), grey-brown moth whose larvae (caterpillars) feed in the pods of garden peas. They have a long antennae (compared to the body size), and brownish grey wings with white and yellow spots in herringbone pattern on the edge. The pupa is dark brown and about 7.8 mm long with rows of spines. Host plants include peas, vetch, clover, and lentils. They have small yellow white, or creamy white caterpillars, up to 14 mm long, during late June to August. They feed inside pea pods but the damage to the peas can sometimes only be found when the pods are harvested. 1 or 2 of the caterpillars may be found in a single pod and within each pod, only 1 or 2 individual peas may be partially eaten and the attacked pods may develop a yellow appearance and can ripen early. Life-cycle The adult moths emerge from cocoons buried in the soil just b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cydia Funebrana
''Grapholita funebrana'', the plum fruit moth or red plum maggot, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in the Palearctic realm. Like many of its congeners, it is sometimes placed in '' Cydia''. The wingspan is 10–15 mm. The forewings are fuscous, striated with dark fuscous. The costa is posteriorly obscurely strigulated with whitish. The angulated edge of the basal patch and the central fascia are darker, the space between them is obscurely striated with whitish irroration towards dorsum. The ocellus is obscurely whitish-irrorated, edged with leaden -metallic, and it includes two or three blackish marks. The hindwings are fuscous, darker posteriorly. bThe larva is pale reddish; head blackish; plate of 2 pale ochreous.Meyrick, E., 1895 ''A Handbook of British Lepidoptera'' MacMillan, Londopdf Keys and description The moth flies in two generations from late April to September. The larvae feed on '' Prunus domestica'', '' Prunus spinosa'' and other ''Prunus'' ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cydia Pomonella
The codling moth (''Cydia pomonella'') is a member of the Lepidopteran family Tortricidae. They are major Agricultural pests, pests to agricultural crops, mainly fruits such as apples and pears, and a codling moth larva is often called an "wikt:apple worm, apple worm". Along with the apple maggot, it is the worm that people encounter when biting into an infected apple. 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. The caterpillars bore into fruit and stop it from growing, which leads to premature ripening. Various means of control, including chemical, biological, and preventive, have been implemented. This moth has a widespread distribution, being found on six continents. Adaptive behavior such as diapause and multiple generations per breeding season have allowed this moth to persist even during years of bad climatic conditions.
