Greya reticulata is a moth of the Prodoxidae family. It is found from the coastal range of California.
The wingspan is 9-15.5 mm. The forewings of the females are white to pale ochreous, banded with brownish spots. Males have the same ground colour, but this is irrorated with brown. The hindwings are grey, often darker in females.[1]
The larvae feed on Osmorhiza chilensis. Young larvae feed on the developing seeds of their host plant.
