Leaf rollers are a diverse group of moths and caterpillars belonging to various families, with the most common ones found on ash and aspen trees. Their life cycle comprises four stages: egg, larva (caterpillar), pupa, and adult (moth).
While leaf rollers can cause significant damage to the appearance of plants, they typically do not kill the plant outright. However, their presence can reduce the plant’s vigor, making it more susceptible to other pests and diseases.
Identifying leaf rollers involves observing their unique behavior, the damage they cause, and their physical appearance in different life stages. Here are some key indicators to help you identify leaf rollers:
By observing these signs and the physical appearance of the insects at various life stages, you can identify leaf rollers and take appropriate action to manage them.
If you suspect leaf roller infestations, look for the following signs: rolled or folded leaves held together with silk threads, leaf damage such as irregular holes or chewed edges, green or brown caterpillars inside the rolled leaves, and silk webbing and fecal matter within the affected foliage. Additionally, you may observe cone-shaped pupal cases on the tree or ground and adult moths with varying colors and patterns on their wings. These indicators can help you confirm the presence of leaf rollers and take appropriate action.
