 Leafcurling midges include two species of small flies which lay their eggs on the shoot tips of either apples and pears. Feeding by the fly maggots causes tight rolling of the edges of leaves. This is sometimes severe enough to cause shoot distortion, and higher populations can result in infestation of the fruit at harvest.
