Wingspan c. 32-38mm
This Neotropical species has been observed a number of times in Britain, as a result of being accidentally imported in fruit consignments.
The example shown was found in a Sainsbury's foodstore in Northumberland, having arrived in a box of bananas from Colombia.
The species, also known as the Banana moth, can be a pest of the fruit in its native land.
