Light Brown Apple Moth

Epiphyas postvittana

Light Brown Apple Moth

Adult light brown apple moths inhabit orchards, gardens, hedgerows, and other vegetation-rich habitats. They are most active at dusk and during the night, flying between host plants to find mates and places to lay eggs. Adults may take nectar or other liquid food, while females place eggs on leaves and fruiting plants. When resting, the moth holds its light brown patterned wings roof-like over its body.
