Trap Spacing:
When trapping for more than one species of moth, separate traps for different moth species by at least 20 meters (65 feet).
Method Notes:
The wing trap and the diamond trap are both effective traps for Thaumatotibia leucotreta. In order to standardize data and trap procurement,
it is preferable that states use the wing trap. However, if states find reason to use the diamond trap, it is acceptable for negative data reporting. Diamond traps will not be available through the Survey Supply Ordering Database.

Approved Lure(s):
Lure Placement:
Placing lures for two or more target species in a trap should never be done unless otherwise noted here.
Identification
Approved Method(s):
Morphological.
Mistaken Identities:
Male T. leucotreta are unlikely to be confused with any native North American tortricid. Females may appear superficially similar to other Grapholitini and a genitalic dissection may be necessary to confirm identity.
Not present in U.S.: Cryptophelbia peltastica, Mussidia nigrevenella, and Thaumatotibia batrachopa. Genitalia or male secondary sexual characters can be used to separate T. leucotreta from these other species.
