This is a very tiny moth of less than 5 millimetres. It was hatched from a pupa found on a Giant Sword Fern (Nephrolepis biserrata) growing in my pot in October 2016. I did not get to see the caterpillar as it had already turned into a pupa by the time I discovered the damaged fern leaves. Needless to say, the pupa was also very small.
