Epiphyas postvittana is a moth of variable colour. It is a native insect of Australia. It has been introduced and now also lives in New Caledonia, the British Isles, Hawaii, USA and New Zealand.
The insect is regarded as a herbivorous generalist, and the larvae feed on numerous horticultural crops in Australia and New Zealand, where they have limited natural predators. It is known to feed on 123 dicotyledonous plant species, including 22 Australian natives, belonging to 55 different families. In New Zealand, over 250 host species have been recorded. It feeds on nearly all types of fruit crops, ornamentals, vegetables, glasshouse crops, and occasionally young pine seedlings. The larvae cause significant damage to foliage and fruit.
