The puriri moth, ''Aenetus virescens'', is a moth of the family Hepialidae, endemic to the North Island of New Zealand. It is New Zealand's largest moth, with a wingspan of up to 150 mm.〔(LandCare New Zealand )〕〔(Photos )〕 The moth spends the first five to six years of its life as a grub in a tree trunk (including non-native species such as ''Eucalyptus''), with the last 48 hours of its life as a moth. Footage has been taken of a puriri moth chrysalis hatching over a period of one hour and forty minutes. ==Gallery== Image:Aenetus virescens male dorsal.jpg|Male, dorsal view Image:Aenetus virescens male ventral.jpg|Male, ventral view Image:Aenetus virescens female ventral.jpg|Female, ventral view Image:Aenetus virescens female dorsal.jpg|Female, dorsal view 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「puriri moth」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
