Argyresthia pruniella, the cherry fruit moth or cherry blossom tineid, is a moth from the family Yponomeutidae, the ermine moths. [1]
Argyresthia pruniella has a wingspan of 10–13 millimetres (0.39–0.51 in). [2] Forewings are reddish-brown with a white dorsal stripe and a dark transversal brown stripe in the middle. Antennae are white with brown bands. Along the forewings lower edge there is a row of white spots. Hindwings are brownish and very narrow, with very long fringes. The caterpillars are pale green with a brown head. [3] [4]
Larvae are oligophagous. Main host plants are apple, apricot, cherry, peach, plum, pear and hazel. The larva lives in the shoots. [2] The flight time ranges from early July [2] to late August. [3] These moths are attracted to light. They are considered a pest of the cultures of said plants. [4]
