Field Notes

Description:

Found it eating tomatoes. Favouring suburban habitats as well as salt-marshes, the larval foodplants in the wild are usually orache (Atriplex) and goosefoot (Chenopodium), but it can sometimes attack cultivated tomatoes, feeding internally in the fruit.

Habitat:

Backyard

Notes:

There were few of them on the same plant but in different stages so some had brown and some yellow colors.
