Banana scab moth
Banana scab moth
moth is small tan to light brown with small black spots on the wings. Larval feeding causes superficial scarring on young fruit. Damaged areas form a black callous, rendering the fruit unmarketable. Feeding is generally confined to the curve of the fruit adjacent to the bunch stalk and between the fingers. Mature larvae can be found under the bracts enclosing the male flower or ‘bell’.
