I don't know what kind of moth or butterfly she will become after the metamorphosis.

I encounter this species very often on figs in summer. But not only on figs, on the blackberry shrubs and some other plants in the Mediterranean bush as well.

This, much smaller species feeds exclusively on fig leaves.

This is the caterpillar of the small Choreutis nemorana moth.

Here you can see how the adult insect looks.
