CHERRY FRUIT WORM: The larvae of a half-inch, mottled brown moth, the cherry fruit worm feeds inside blueberries until full grown. Adults hibernate over winter, emerging in late spring to lay their eggs on the developing fruit. Destroy infested fruit. If larvae attack more than a few berries, pick and destroy fruit and dust plants with rotenone.
