Wikipedia
codlin moth
The codling moth (Cydia pomonella) 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. 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.

codlin moth
The codlin moth is a small moth species in the family Tortricidae, scientifically known as Cydia pomonella. It is a significant pest in agricultural settings, particularly apple orchards, as its larvae (caterpillars) bore into fruit and cause damage. Other than apples, it also affects pears and walnuts. The adult moth is generally grey with light brown shades, while the larvae are off-white with a brown head. Despite its name, it does not primarily target codlin apples. Its native origin is considered to be in Europe, but it is now widespread globally.
