Description: The European grapevine moth is a Lepidoptera about 7 mm long. It is one of the most common pests of the vine and table grapes.

Number of annual generations: normally, there are three generations a year, although in favourable weather conditions there may be a fourth.

Damage: first generation caterpillars feed on the floral buds and the 2nd and 3^rd buds, which are the ones that cause the most important damages to the fruit, causing damage that favours the entry of secondary fungi such as Botrytis cinerea.
