Distribution

This species is present in most of Europe and in the Near East. [4]

Description

Grapholita gemmiferana has a wingspan of 13–16 millimetres (0.51–0.63 in).[5][6][7] These moths are characterized by a basically slate-colored forewings, with an orange-ochreous color in the distal area, [7] also showing various silvery lines and spots. Females are usually darker. [8] This species is rather similar to Grapholita caecana. [5][7]

Biology

Adult moths fly from April to July, caterpillars can be found from June to September. [5] Larvae feed within spun leaves of the narrow-leaved everlasting-pea (Lathyrus sylvestris) and on the pods of Lathyrus pannonicus.[5][9][10] They overwinter in a cocoon from August- September and pupate in April.[7]

gollark: Or OCaml, which Rust is based on.
gollark: Yes, Rust would be a much better base.
gollark: Nobody actually reads them, and by the time they are ratified it will be *too late*.
gollark: Solution: Infiltrate the standards committees. While they're distracted bikeshedding function names and cylindrical Bessel functions and such, swap out some of the pages of the new standard for ones from Boost docs.
