Apple Maggot (AM)
Rhagoletis pomonella

Apple Maggot (AM) (Rhagoletis pomonella) is an insect pest. It was first detected in New Hampshire in 1905.

The apple maggot is a fly pest of several fruits, mainly apples. The young maggot that hatches consumes the fruit and causes it to bruise and decay and finally drop before ripening. The insect overwinters as a pupa in the soil.
