Life Cycle of Cherry Fruitworm Moth
Egg The egg stage is marked by small, generally oval-shaped eggs laid by the female cherry Fruitworm Moth. The eggs are often laid on host plants and can vary in color. This stage is a period of embryonic development inside the eggshell.
Larva In the larval stage, the cherry Fruitworm Moth is worm-like, with a soft body that can vary in color and size as it grows. The primary function during this stage is feeding, to accumulate energy for further development.
Pupal During the pupal stage, the cherry Fruitworm Moth undergoes transformation within a protective cocoon or chrysalis. It is a resting phase where the larva metamorphoses into an adult. Color and shape change significantly within the pupa.
Adult Emerging from the pupa, the adult cherry Fruitworm Moth's development is marked by the presence of wings and functional reproductive organs. The body is fully formed and hardened, and the adult is mobile, focusing on reproduction.

How and Where Can You Find Cherry Fruitworm Moth at Different Life Stages
Egg Eggs of cherry Fruitworm Moth are typically laid on host plants. To find them, inspect the underside of leaves of known host plants for tiny clusters or rows of eggs.
Larva Search for cherry Fruitworm Moth larvae on or near their food plants, which are often fruit trees given their family Tortricidae. Look for signs of feeding such as rolled or webbed leaves, and carefully unfold these to locate the larvae.
Pupal Pupae of cherry Fruitworm Moth are often in concealed places such as under loose bark or leaf litter near the larval food source. Search these areas carefully to locate the camouflaged pupae.
Adult Set up a light trap at night or use sweet/fermented bait traps to attract adult cherry Fruitworm Moth. They are also attracted to flowers, so visiting florae that bloom at night can be fruitful.
