Other leafrollers
Rufus Isaacs, MSU Entomology
Blueberry is a host plant for other leafroller species, though their injury is typically minimal. Redbanded leafroller larvae may be present as soon as green foliage appears, and this first generation can injure leaves and young clusters. The later generation rarely causes injury. RBLR and other leafrollers are usually controlled by sprays for other pests or by natural enemies.
Redbanded leafroller larvae are green-yellow with a similar colored head capsule and grow to 16 mm long.


Redbanded leafroller moths have distinct red bands on the fore-wings in a V-shape when at rest. Wingspans range from 12 to 18 mm.
