Stictea ejectana, the guava bud moth, is a moth of the family Tortricidae. It was described by Francis Walker in 1863. It is found on Fiji, Samoa, the Marquesas Archipelago, Tahiti, Rapa Iti, the southern Mariana Islands, the Philippines and in New Caledonia, New Zealand and Australia (New South Wales, Tasmania and Western Australia).
The wingspan is about 20 mm. Adults are brown with a complex pattern on the forewings. The larvae feed on Thryptomene calycina, Psidium guajava, Psidium littorale, Syzygium jambos, Eugenia uniflora, Calluna vulgaris, and Metrosideros collina.
Adults are attracted to light and have been collected via a mercury vapour light trap. Wikipedia →

With luck
About 10% of wildlife watchers report a Strepsicrates ejectana sighting in Auckland on a given day, based on 23 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 264th most-seen of the 689 insects we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 20%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
October to February
In those months about 10% of wildlife watchers report a Strepsicrates ejectana in Auckland on a given day, against under 5% in March to September, the lowest months.
Only Auckland, in our data

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Strepsicrates ejectana is recorded against all the insects logged in Auckland (23 verified sightings), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
