description Plum Curculio Overview
Plum curculio is a weevil commonly identified as Conotrachelus nenuphar and an important orchard pest in North America. Adult females make crescent-shaped scars in young fruit and lay eggs beneath the skin; the larvae feed inside developing apples, plums, peaches, cherries, and related fruit before leaving to pupate in the soil. Infested fruit may drop early, become misshapen, or retain scars that reduce its market quality.
