The light-brown apple moth can devastate fruit plantations – both grape crops and other fruit such as apple (obviously), apricots, and tomatoes. The moth has not previously existed in North America but has been spotted in nine different counties in California since the beginning of the year, e.g. in Napa. Wine and fruit growers fear the worst and traps as well as pesticides have started to be used. Telegraph.co.uk. See it here
