Another new nasty today, I think it's probably a Fruitlet mining moth (Pammene rhediella ) though I have my doubts as the colour and
season seem slightly wrong.
Which ever species it it, this one is
rather more damaging, as it bores right into the fruit.
I've only found it on Conference so far, perhaps because the long
fruitlets are set close together, giving it more shelter. It usually joins two fruitlets together with silk, which is the best clue to spotting it.
