Hi Edward,

Your micro is a male Light Brown Apple Moth and I agree with your other IDs. You have a very productive garden there, can't imagine what you'll be catching next year.

Thanks Charlie. The Light Brown Apple Moth must have fed on the Apple Tree.

LBAM larvae feed on a very large range of plants that's why they're so commonly found.
