Does anyone know the answers to the following questions regarding plum 
curculio: (1) Are they active in temperatures under about 60 degrees? 
(2) Are they active in the rain? I have been using Surround on my fruit 
trees this year for the first time, but continuous rain here in suburban 
Maryland has washed most of it off today and rain and temperatures in 
the high 50s and low 60s are forecast for the next few days. The 
curculio are definitely about, as they have already scarred some apples 
and sour cherries.
