Abantiades latipennis, known as the Pindi moth, is a species of moth in the family Hepialidae. It may also be referred to as a swift moth or a ghost moth, as this is a common name associated with Hepialidae. Endemic to Australia and identified in 1932, it is most populous in temperate rainforest where eucalypti are prevalent, as the larvae feed primarily on the roots of these trees. Females lay eggs during flight in a scattering fashion. The larvae live for over eighteen months underground, while adult moths survive for approximately one week, as they have no mouthparts with which to feed. The moths are preyed upon by a number of predators, including bats and owls. Brown in colour overall, males are paler and the identifying silver bars of the male's wings are more prominent than those of

  • Abantiades latipennis, known as the Pindi moth, is a species of moth in the family Hepialidae. It may also be referred to as a swift moth or a ghost moth, as this is a common name associated with Hepialidae. Endemic to Australia and identified in 1932, it is most populous in temperate rainforest where eucalypti are prevalent, as the larvae feed primarily on the roots of these trees. Females lay eggs during flight in a scattering fashion. The larvae live for over eighteen months underground, while adult moths survive for approximately one week, as they have no mouthparts with which to feed. The moths are preyed upon by a number of predators, including bats and owls. Brown in colour overall, males are paler and the identifying silver bars of the male's wings are more prominent than those of the female's, with dark margins. Male adults are generally smaller. Established clearfelling practices have been shown to favour the Pindi moth, and could lead to it being considered a pest due to opportunistic proliferation of the species. The resulting damage caused to the trees on which it feeds may be considered significant. (en)
  • Abantiades latipennis est une espèce de lépidoptères de la famille des Hepialidae. Endémique d'Australie et décrit en 1932, il est le plus fréquent des papillons de la forêt pluviale tempérée où les eucalyptus sont abondants, car les chenilles se nourrissent principalement sur les racines de ces arbres. Les femelles pondent en vol pour la diffusion des œufs. Les chenilles vivent pendant plus de dix-huit mois sous terre, tandis que les imagos vivent environ une semaine, car ils n'ont pas de pièces buccales pour se nourrir. Les papillons sont chassés par un certain nombre de prédateurs, comme les chauves-souris et les hiboux. de couleur brune, les mâles sont plus pâles et les barres argentées des ailes du mâle sont plus importantes que celles de la femelle, avec des marges sombres. Les mâles adultes sont généralement plus petits. Les techniques de coupe des bois favorisent le papillon. Les dommages causés aux arbres peuvent être considérés comme significatifs. (fr)
