Moth, Dracontomelon vitiensis, Fiji

September 2017. A small mother (wingspan about 1 cm) is attacking the leaves of Tarawau in Fiji.

There were two suggestions: i) a tortricid moth, Dudua, or ii) a tortricid moth in the family Gelechiidae possible the genus Anarsia, which is known to develop on Anacardiaceae in southeast Asia.
