Habitat Preferences of Dark strawberry tortrix Through Different Life Stages
The eggs of dark strawberry tortrix are typically deposited on host plants, often on leaves or stems. In search of larvae, inspect the rolled or webbed leaves, which serves as their shelter and feeding grounds. Pupae may be found within these same structures or in crevices of the bark. Adult dark strawberry tortrix can be discovered by examining flowers, foliage, or by setting up light traps at night, as they're attracted to light sources; don't forget to check nearby vegetation for resting adults during daylight hours.

How and Where Can You Find Dark strawberry tortrix at Different Life Stages
Egg Dark strawberry tortrix eggs are often laid on the undersides of leaves or in protected areas on the host plants. Inspect these areas carefully to find the eggs.
Larva Dark strawberry tortrix larvae can be found by looking for chewed leaves or the silky 'shelters' they create on the host plants. They may also be present in rolled or folded leaves.
Pupal To find dark strawberry tortrix pupae, look for them in sheltered locations such as under leaves, in plant debris, or crevices near the host plants where the larvae developed.
Adult Dark strawberry tortrix adults can often be found on or near host plants. They may also be attracted to light at night, so using a light source may help in locating them.

Hurt Plant

When dark strawberry tortrix feeds on its host plants, such as Artemisia, Carduus, Euphorbia, and Hieracium, it primarily consumes leaf and fruit tissues. The chewing of plant tissues by dark strawberry tortrix leads to holes and tattered edges in leaves, as well as blemished and potentially deformed fruits. These damages can diminish photosynthetic efficiency and reduce the plant's overall vigor and reproductive potential.
