Wikipedia Abstract

The pandanus flower moth (Anatrachyntis incertulella) is a small cosmet moth species (family Cosmopterigidae). It belongs to subfamily Cosmopteriginae. This was the first "micromoth" species to be described from Hawaiʻi. The type specimens were collected there by the 1820s Beechey expedition and described by the English entomologist Francis Walker in 1864; they are now in the British Museum of Natural History. The caterpillar larvae feed on Pandanus species, including Pandanus tectorius.
