Dear Self,
This is a Fruit Piercing Moth, Eudocima materna, and we found matching photos on FlickR and Wikimedia Commons. The moths have a proboscis that is capable of piercing the skin of many types of fruit, enabling the moth to feed on the juice. This habit ensures them a position as an agricultural pest in many parts of the world.
