Codling Moth is probably the most important pest of apples worldwide and an important pest of pears, quinces and walnuts. It may also attack other Prunus species including peaches. Larvae bore into fruits, carving galleries inside. Damage may go unnoticed in the earlier part of the season because attack causes the young fruit to drop. There are usually 1 to 2 generations (egg to adult) in the UK depending on climate.
