外見

The Codling Moth is a small, mottled grey-brown moth, often featuring a distinct bronze or copper-colored patch with dark lines on the outer edge of each forewing. Its muted coloration helps it blend seamlessly with tree bark. This camouflaged appearance makes it visually different from many brightly colored garden moths.
