DEF

Any moths of the genus Tortrix of family Tortricidae.

CONT

Many species of Tortrix moth caterpillars feed on the foliage of fruit trees, but most are not regarded as important pests. Certain species do attack apples, pears, plums and strawberries, feeding on the fruit and causing economic damage where they occur ... Tortrix moth infestations can cause damage in terms of fruit yield and quality.

OBS

Ce sont des papillons, de taille réduite, aux ailes rectangulaires, parfois vivement colorées. Les chenilles vivent, pour la plupart, à l'intérieur de feuilles qu'elles ont réunies en fourreaux, par des fils de soie (d'où leur nom de «tordeuse»).

OBS

Le terme «tordeuse» est utilisé en français pour désigner l'insecte ravageur quel que soit son stade de vie (chenille ou papillon). Seul le contexte peut nous éclairer à ce sujet.

The term "tortricid" refers to a family of moths. When the winged adult is alluded to, then the common term "leaf-roller" is preferred. However when reference is made to the caterpillar (or "worm"), the term "budworm" is more precise, e.g. spruce budworm.
