Conogethes punctiferalis
The Yellow Peach Moth is a moth of the Crambidae family. It has been reported from various parts of the world, mainly because larvae are imported alongside fruit. The wingspan is 14–20 mm. Adults are yellow with a dark pattern. The larvae live concealed in their foodplant in a case lined with silk. Full-grown larvae are about 20 mm long. It is considered a pest on fruit trees.
