Note on Occurrence in British Columbia of the Omnivorous Leaf Tier, Cnephasia longana (Haw.) (Lepidoptera: Tortricidae), as a Pest of Strawberry

Abstract

The senior author collected several nearly mature lepidopterous larvae found tunnelling in ripening strawberries at Saanich, Vancouver Island, B.C., on June 10, 1957. From larvae reared on fruit in cages in an insectary, six moths emerged, two each on July 15, 18, and 22. These six and another individual collected in flight were identified as the omnivorous leaf tier, Cnephasia longana (Haw.).
