Love me a Pūriri. - Womens Heavy Tee
Art work by Katy Hayward, ft. 2 male pūriri moths in different toned colours; artistically 'highlighting' their magnificent size, the detailed etchings of their wings & of course their furry / floofy bodies.
Pūriri moths (Aenetus virescens or pepe tuna) are New Zealand’s largest endemic flying moth. Larvae hatch on the bush floor and feed on fungi. Then they climb tree trunks such as pūriri (hence their name) and burrow into the trunk where they live for several years. Pūriri trees only have a northern distribution in the North Island. However, pūriri moths will instead use kohekohe trees to complete their life cycle. When the moths emerge, the holes in the trunk are about a centimetre in diameter. Females have a wingspan up to 15cm, but have no mouthparts and cannot feed. They live for about 48 hours, mate, lay eggs and then die. What a way to live right!!!
