Leaf tissue eaten by casebearer or bag moth caterpillars

 Casebearer (bag moth) caterpillars live within their conical cases from which they graze the surface of fruit and eat holes in leaves. The edges of the damage to fruit is scalloped in a series of small curves where the caterpillar has fed, and the healed depression caused by the feeding is often shiny in appearance.
