Garden Rose Tortrix, Garden Rose Tortricid, Fruit Tortricid
A small tortricid moth with distinctive wing patterning, recognized as a significant agricultural pest of rosaceous fruit trees. Adults fly nocturnally during late summer and are attracted to light. The species has a broad Palearctic distribution with introduced populations in North America. Larval damage is most severe from the spring generation, which attacks fruit buds, flowers, and developing fruits.

Eupithecia scabrogata is a small geometrid moth described by Pearsall in 1912. It occurs in western North America from British Columbia south to California and Arizona. Adults are active primarily from November through March, with a possible second generation in May. The species has been documented visiting apple flowers at night, contributing to nocturnal pollination services.
