The destructive Light Brown Apple Moth has been found again in California, although it has not yet been traced in Central Valley.

The invasive bug, which had been trapped in nine Bay Area and Central Coast counties has now appeared in both Solano and Los Angeles counties.

The Apple Moth is known to attack as many as 250 different types of plants, including fruits like apples, pears, grapes, and citrus.

It has not yet been found in any of the Central Valley counties, where it could prove devastating.
