Aenetus splendens
This moth occurs in Queensland and New South Wales. We have seen it at Tallowwood Ridge in January.
Larval foodplants
The larvae bore in the stems of saplings of various plants, including Calicoma serratifolia, Callistemon, Casuarina, Sysygium smithii, Trema aspera, Pandorea pandorana, Rubus, Dodonea, *Lantana camara. The caterpillar covers the end of the tunnel with silk and debris. It pupates in its tunnel, and partly extrudes the pupa before the adult emerges.
