Rhyacionia adana (Adana Tip Moth)

Wikipedia Abstract

Rhyacionia adana, the Adana tip moth, is a moth of the Tortricidae family. It is found in north-eastern North America, including Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Michigan, Wisconsin and Ontario. The wingspan is about 17 mm. There is one generation per year. The larvae feed on various pine species. The larvae mine the current year's shoots of red, jack and Scots pine seedlings and saplings (it attacks the lower halves of trees up to 25 feet tall). Serious damage has been recorded in red and Scots pine plantations in Massachusetts, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Michigan, Wisconsin, and Ontario.
