Box Tree Moth
Cryptographis perspectalis
The adult box tree moth is a mostly white, brown-edged moth found around boxwood plants, gardens, and wooded places. It is chiefly active at night and flies readily between shelter and feeding sites. Adults may visit flowers for nectar, while the species is notable for laying eggs that produce boxwood-defoliating caterpillars.
