Light green worms with black heads appearing upon 
the trees as soon as the leaves begin to open. The leaves 
are rolled or folded about the worms for the protection of 
the latter from their enemies. When abundant, both apples 
and foliage are sometimes entirely destroyed. The worms 
change to pupm in the leaf rolls from which small yellow or 
rust colored moths appear in July. These moths deposit 
their eggs in oval patches on the trunk and branches of the 
trees where they remain dormant until the following spring.
