Description
One of my favourite forest finds was a common bag moth (Liothula omnivora) endemic to New Zealand. These moths create beautiful cases, often decorated with parts of their host plant. The female spends her whole life inside her cocoon home. One of its Māori names is pū a Raukatauri, in reference to the atua associated with flute music.
“Hine Raukatauri is best known as the Goddess of Flute Music. It is said that she loved her flute so much that she chose to live inside it.” – Taonga Pūoro
