@pogomcl It's hard to imagine many contexts where #PlumeMoth #larvae truly impact crop production. They are small and not conspicuously gregarious and/or voracious.
The Starfruit Plume Moth (#Diacrotricha fasciola, https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/211098-Diacrotricha-fasciola) 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 #Australia (#Wheeleria spilodactylus for Marrubium vulgare, #Hellinsia balanotes for Baccharis halimifolia).
