Grubs
Apple Grubs may be the larvae either of a beetle, Anthonomus pomorum, or of a small moth, Carpocapsa pomonana. The beetle belongs to the group of Weevils, or long-snouted beetles. It is about 1/6in. long, and of a dark colour. In June, the females lay their eggs in the flower buds (one egg in each), and the larvae soon emerge and live in the interior of the bud, which remains unopened. The grub is footless, of a pale colour, with a dark head. The only remedies are to remove and destroy the buds containing the larvae and pupae, and to shake from the branches and destroy the females before they have laid their eggs.
