It is only present in North America where it is considered as a serious pest. It has spread, probably with infested apples, from eastern to western North America. If it was introduced into the EPPO region, it is likely to cause high yield losses and require application of insecticides. It is important to prevent the introduction and establishment of this pest in the EPPO region.This poster has been prepared in collaboration with EPPO (www.eppo.int) Adult (4-5 mm in length)Courtesy: Wee L.
