Eudonia bisinualis is a type of moth that belongs to the family Crambidae. A scientist named George Vernon Hudson first described this moth in 1928.
This special moth lives only in New Zealand. When an animal or plant lives only in one specific place, it is called endemic.
About the Eudonia bisinualis Moth
Eudonia bisinualis is a small moth. It has a special mark on its front wings. This mark is called a "discal forewing streak."
Is It a Unique Species?
Scientists have debated if Eudonia bisinualis is its own unique species. This is because its wing pattern can change a lot. Also, it looks very much like another moth called Eudonia cymatias.
Some scientists think they are the same species. This is because even their male body parts are identical. But for now, they are still treated as separate species.
When Can You See Them?
Adult Eudonia bisinualis moths can be seen flying during certain months. They are usually active from October to May.
