peach twig borer
insect
Quick Summary
The peach twig borer is the larva of a small moth (Anarsia lineatella) that bores into the smaller twigs of peach and other fruit trees. This is distinct from the peach tree borer, which is a moth whose larva bores into the wood of stone fruit trees. There is also a lesser peach tree borer, whose larva also bores into the wood of stone-fruit trees. The emerald ash borer, a beetle native to East Asia, is a destructive pest of ash trees in North America, killing millions of them.1234
