Scientific classification
Kingdom: Animalia
Phylum: Arthropoda
Class: Insecta
Order: Lepidoptera
Family: Hepialidae
Genus: Aenetus
Herrich-Schäffer 1855

Aenetus is a genus of moths of the family Hepialidae. There are 24 described species found in Indonesia, New Guinea, New Caledonia, Australia and New Zealand. Most species have green or blue forewings and reddish hindwings but some are predominantly brown or white. The larvae feed in the trunks of living trees, burrowing horizontally into the trunk then vertically down. They usually pupate in the tunnel. Many different trees have been recorded as food plants in Australia including Acacia, Alphitonia, Bottlebrush, Casuarina, Eucalyptus, Eugenia, Leptospermum, Melaleuca and Trema as well as introduced trees such as Apple and Elm. Scientific classification or biological classification is how biologists group and categorize extinct and living species of organisms. ...

FNZ 30 - Hepialidae (Lepidoptera) - Introduction (954 words)
The puriri moth, Aenetus virescens (Doubleday), is not only our largest moth species (females can exceed 140 mm wingspan) but is abundant in several North Island cities and towns.
Despite their abundance (Dumbletonius, Wiseana) or huge size (Aenetus), their presence in lowland sites, their regular periodic adult emergences (flights), and their attraction to light, it is curious that no Hepialidae were brought to England from New Zealand by naturalists on Cook's voyages.
Upon each visit, long periods were spent anchored close to shore in Queen Charlotte Sound (SD) during the flight season of Dumbletonius and Wiseana, and again, Cook's survey of Dusky Sound (FD) took place during the flight season of the large, robust Aoraia species.
