Upojenie HD - Cydia
Working on a Cydia icon for my upcoming iPhone4 theme, Upojenie HD. A Cydia Pomonella coming out of a cardboard box after eating a whole lot of green apples. ;)
The codling moth (Cydia pomonella) is a member of the Lepidopteran family Tortricidae. They are known as an agricultural pest, their larva being the common apple worm or maggot. It is native to Europe and was introduced to North America, where it has become one of the regular pests of apple orchards. It is found almost worldwide. It also attacks pears, walnuts, and other tree fruits.
This larva is the infamous "worm in the apple" of cartoon and vernacular fame; it is not related to the earthworm.The codling moth is greyish with light grey and copper stripes on its wings, and has an average wingspan of 17 mm. The females lay eggs on fruit or leaves and the black-headed yellow larvae attack the fruit immediately upon hatching. Each larva burrows into the fruit, eats for around three weeks, then leaves the fruit to overwinter and pupate elsewhere. Most nourishment is obtained by feeding on the proteinaceous seeds. The codling moth is bivoltine in most regions of the USA - in the Pacific Northwest there is a partial third generation.
