Fruit samples were collected from all surveyed orchards to determine the damage of &lt;em&gt;C &lt;/em&gt;. &lt;em&gt;cribripennis &lt;/em&gt; adults on olive fruit. Twenty fruits from randomly choosen 5 trees in each orchard, i.e. totally 100 fruits were controlled. &lt;strong&gt; &lt;/strong&gt; &lt;em&gt;C. &lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;cribripennis &lt;/em&gt; was gathered by hundred stroke method and then its adults were counted in these orchards. This study indicated that in 2008, epidemic rate of &lt;em&gt;C. &lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;cribripennis &lt;/em&gt; was found as 45%, 17%, 7%, 7%, 2% and 0% in Osmaniye, Adana, Kahramanmaraş, Mersin, Hatay, Gaziantep and Kilis, respectively. The highest damage rate of &lt;em&gt;C. &lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;cribripennis &lt;/em&gt; on fruits was found in Osmaniye with 19%, followed by Kahramanmaraş with 6%, Adana with 4.8%, Hatay with 0.4%, Mersin with 0.3%, Gaziantep with 0.01% and Kilis with 0%. The number of holes opened by the feeding of the pest per fruit varied from 1 to 28. In 2009, epidemic rate of &lt;em&gt;C. &lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;cribripennis &lt;/em&gt; was found as 30% in Osmaniye, 26% in Adana, 25% in Hatay and 17% in Mersin. The highest damage rate of &lt;em&gt;C. &lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;cribripennis &lt;/em&gt; on fruits was found in Osmaniye with 21.5%, followed by Adana with 3.7%, Mersin 2% and Hatay 0.9%. The number of holes opened by the feeding of the pest per fruit varied from 1 to 72. &lt;/div&gt;}, number={1}, publisher={TARIM VE ORMAN BAKANLIĞI EĞİTİM VE YAYIN DAİRESİ BAŞKANLIĞI}
