Can you identify this cocoon on my apple tree leaf?

Expert Response

This could be one of hundreds of insects.  


If it is that important, take it to your local extension office and ask them to submit it to an entomologist for identification.  I am sure your Land Grant University has a Plants, Disease, and Insect, Clinic that specialize in pest identification. 

Of course there is usually a fee associated with insect identification.

I hope this helps. Replied June 12, 2024, 6:29 PM EDT
