Obviously and finally you agree ;-)... When I write "please, verify", then I would expect that one will check the link and check the species name and try to compare. I am glad you did, since these little apples are quite variable and I must admit that I did not an extensive crosscheck myself, or better I did this a long time ago. Please, add the common name as well.

Tortricidae, Leafroller Moth. Tricky to ID, since you never know where all these pests are actually coming from. Sometimes you might see an Eastasian species in Brazil. Please, verify!
