Cacyreus marshalli
"It is brown with a fine black edge interlaced with white and a very thin tail. The underside is grey-brown with dark bands. The species is native of South Africa. It has, however, been introduced (deliberately or accidentally) to Mediterranean Europe (initially the Balaeric Islands), where it has spread as a pest of cultivated Pelargonium geraniums, which also originate in South Africa."
