What Does the Light Brown Apple Moth (LBAM) Look Like?
In its juvenile stage, LBAM is a half-inch long green caterpillar, and it is a non-stop eating machine. This is the most damaging stage. Adults are light brown, yellowish moths with darker brown markings. Females are larger than males and usually have less distinct markings, but often have a distinct spot in the middle when the wings are closed.
