SUMMARY Significantly more eggs of Acleris comariana (Lienig and Zeller) were laid on the lower than on the upper surface of strawberry leaves (cv. Cambridge Favourite); most were found on the proximal half of the leaflets. Eggs were only noted on leaf laminae; none was found on petioles, stipules or stolons. Eggs were located on plants of all sizes, from well‐established mother plants to young runners, but most frequently occurred on older plants and on inedium‐sized leaves.
