@pogomcl It's hard to imagine many contexts where truly impact crop production. They are small and not conspicuously gregarious and/or voracious.

The Starfruit Plume Moth ( fasciola, inaturalist.org/taxa/211098-Di) seems to be a pest because they bore into the fruit and presumably lower its marketability.

And two species have been introduced for biosecurity in ( spilodactylus for Marrubium vulgare, balanotes for Baccharis halimifolia).
