This time against coddling moths
In the country park (where we walk on Wednesdays) some trees were completely taken over. It looks like Halloween decorations. I thought our trees had escaped but we had some on the Bramley and other apple trees. I removed it all with soapy water and a long brush and with my hands. The fruit survived.
And will put another on a second Bramley tree further down the orchard. They contain pheromones that attract the male moth which dies on the sticky insert hidden in the container. Let’s hope it works

Codling moths lay their eggs on the tiny developing fruit. The tiny caterpillars bore into ther fruit and cause damage to the cores and soft flesh. They leave nasty mucky cores and tiny passages as they emerge to the outside world.
The damage done to other plants you saw was not codling moths.

Interesting. Other moths then?
Yes, probably a tiny moth. Could be lots of things – I am not an entomologist!
Lots on Wikipedia about the Codling Moth!
