APPLE MAGGOT FLY
The apple maggot fly is a major pest for apple growers.
Small, brown streaks in the flesh of the apple are evidence of apple maggots. The damage is caused by the ¼” long, white & yellow larvae tunneling their way through the apple after hatching. Infested apples often drop. Adult flies (smaller than a housefly), emerge from soil borne pupae in late June and continue to appear until late autumn. Flies puncture fruit skin and deposit eggs, which hatch into the fruit-tunneling maggots, leaving the fruit unpalatable.

For monitoring purposes, one lure per tree. One lure will last the entire season.
