, it was quantified that in seven days, an adult makes an average of 45.5 lesions or punctures per fruit. Consequently, the damage that a single insect can cause is of high impact on the productivity of the orchard. In the physiologically mature fruit, there is no evidence of pulp damage; however, the scarred lesions on the skin are evident as defects, affecting the commercial value of the fruit.
