  • Lead paragraph, first sentence
    The codling moth or (especially Australia) codlin moth (Cydia pomonella) is a member of the Lepidopteran family Tortricidae.
  • Morphology, fourth sentence
    These brown spots enclosed in gold rings are called "little mirrors" because they resemble small mirrors with a golden rim.
  • major pests to agricultural crops, mainly fruits such as apples and pears
  • Lead
    Because the larvae are not able to feed on leaves, they are highly dependent on fruits as a food source and thus have a significant impact on crops.
