The fruit tree borer (Maroga melanostigma) is a moth of the Xyloryctidae family. It is native to Australia. The wingspan is about 40 mm. The adults have satin white forewings, with a black dot near the centre of the wing. The hindwings are grey. The body is black with yellow bands and a yellow tip. The upper part of the legs has orange hairs. The moths confront threats by lying down on their back or side, extending the wings upwards and curling the abdomen to display the yellow tip.
