Abstract
The pear and cherry slugworm, which is the larva of the pear slug sawfly (Caliroa cerasi (L.)),occurs in many parts of Britain, particularly the south. It is sometimes a pest in private gardens but is infrequently recorded in commercial plantations. Pear and cherry trees are most commonly attacked, but apple and plum are also attacked occasionally as well as ornamentals such as almond, flowering cherry, hawthorn and rowan.
