About Acleris zimmermani
Acleris zimmermani is a leafroller associated with Rubus.
Natural history and identification
Acleris zimmermani is a leafroller associated with Rubus. It was deliberately introduced to Hawaiʻi for biological control, with a Kauaʻi release recorded in 1965. The modern Hawaiian review reconciles the current name with the earlier literature. This history explains its nonnative status and intended host relationship; it does not imply that the moth is a native raspberry specialist or that its present control performance has been measured throughout Kauaʻi.
