Anthonomus pomorum

provided by wikipedia EN

Anthonomus pomorum or the apple blossom weevil is a univoltine herbivore of apple trees, Malus domestica.[1]

Life history

Adults generally overwinter in leaf litter of forests or hedgerows. In the spring, they emigrate to orchards and colonize apple trees.[2][3] They may find their host trees using pheromones or plant-derived chemical cues.[4]

Spiders can be effective predators of A. pomorum.[5]
