Choristoneura vs Spruce budworm
Although I haven't taken the time to check, I'm pretty sure that most of the species aren't spruce budworms (I came to this page from the page for Choristoneura rosaceana, a species that feeds on roses and a variety of broad-leaf trees). It's also strange that you have a hatnote saying "For the other species with the same common name, see Choristoneura orae, given that it refers to a species that's listed further down the page.

It looks like the taxonomically-oriented Choristoneura content was hastily grafted onto the forestry-oriented spruce budworm article without completely integrating the two. The only mention of the Choristoneura part is in the first 3 sentences, and I suspect that the second sentence is simply wrong. I don't know enough about tortricids to fix anything, but it needs attention and there have been only two edits by humans in the past year- both very minor formatting tweaks.
