Physical characteristics


The wingspan is 11–15 mm.[2]


Life cycle


The larvae feed, under a fine silken web on the upperside of a leaf, eating the parenchyma, except for the lower cuticle, which is left as a brown blotch resulting in a skeleton leaf appearance.[3] Larvae are found on crab apple (Malus pumila), hawthorn (Crataegus species), paper birch (Betula papyrifera), willow (Salix species), cherry (Prunus species), whitebeam (Sorbus species), ash (Fraxinus species), rose (Rosa species) and alder (Alnus species). Larvae have been recorded from June to early September in North America, while in Britain they are found in May and June and again in August. Larva pupate in a whitish, silk cocoon 15–20 mm long, usually on the underside of a leaf'.[3]

In Canada, adults have been recorded from late July to late October. There are two generations per year in western Europe, with adults on wing in July and again in September, when it overwinters and may appear again in early spring.[2]


Distribution


The apple leaf skeletonizer is found in Asia and Europe from Japan to Ireland and was introduced to New England in 1917.[3][4] It is frequently collected in agricultural areas in North America where it is found along the west coast of the United States and British Columbia, Ontario, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and Newfoundland and Labrador.
