description Light brown apple moth Overview
The light brown apple moth, Epiphyas postvittana, is a tortrix moth native to Australia and now established in several regions outside its original range. Its larvae are leafrollers that feed on a wide range of plants, including fruit crops, vines, ornamentals, and native vegetation, so the species is described as highly polyphagous. It was detected in California in the mid-2000s, where its broad host range led to quarantine and pest-management concerns.
