Occasionally it appears in the olives, apples, pears, peaches and apricots, causing minor damage to the leaves. In recent years in the Southern and western Hercegovina it causes considerable damage to crops of pomegranate. Intensifying of pomegranate growing with numerous irrigation and fertilization have created the favorable conditions for the emergence and divelopment of this pest. The largest number of pests recorded on the varieties Glavas and Konjski zub.
