Mad as hell in modesto!!


these are apple moth larvae...they will tunnel in and kill the buds they drill into and eat. I tried organic foggers/sprays ...nada

Keep picking them off (they hide inside too so ya got to open the buds a lil to see) along with the dead stuff and watch for mold in those areas

they ate alot of my crop
