Light Brown Apple Moth
Epiphyas postvittana

Observation date: July 23, 2019
Date notes: Time doesn't really matter, as the moth image was taken in the glass jar where they hatched, which could have happened several days before I checked. The caterpillar image was taken in situ on the Garrya elliptica 31 May 2019 in the afternoon.
Submitted by: I Spy Butterflies
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Hatched out of Garrya elliptica leaves I reared inside after seeing the cocoons on the plant. I took an earlier photo of the caterpillar phase from a different set of joined leaves. Image included.
