Pandemis pyrusana
Pandemis pyrusana, the apple pandemis or pandemis leafroller moth, is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. The species was first described by William D. Kearfott in 1907. It is found in North America, where it has been recorded from Alberta to British Columbia, south through Idaho, Utah and Colorado and California. The habitat consists of forests with deciduous trees and shrubs.

The length of the forewings is 8–12.5 mm for males and 9.5–14 mm for females. The forewings are brown with fasciate markings. The hindwings are white. Adults are on wing from May to July and again from September to November in coastal California in one or two generations per year.

The larvae feed on "Alnus" species, "Betula occidentalis", "Lonicera" species, "Cornus sericea", "Ribes" species, "Ceanothus cuneatus", "Malus" species (including "Malus pumila"), "Prunus" species (including "Prunus avium" and "Prunus virginiana"), "Pyrus" species, "Rosa" species, "Populus tremuloides" and "Salix" species (including "Salix lasiolepis" and "Salix sessilifolia"). Young larvae feed under a shelter which they construct along the mid-rib of a leaf. Older larvae feed on the foliage. Full-grown larvae reach a length of about 20 mm. They are uniform green. Second generation larvae overwinter in shelters at the base of their host plant or under the bark. Pupation takes place inside a folded leaf.
