Qantas Amazing Australia Recently on ‘Burke’s Backyard’ Don and Dr Geoff Monteith, Senior Curator of Insects at the Queensland Museum, went on the hunt for the Giant Wood Moth, which is a fascinating part of garden ecology. The larvae are better known as witchetty grubs. Although these huge grubs, which burrow into the trunks of trees look destructive and may be found in dying trees, they often won’t be the cause of a tree’s death as they do not burrow deep into the tree.

The schoolâs principal, Meagan Steward, said the moth was âan amazing findâ. Steward said due to the schoolâs location it was not unusual to find a range of animals on the grounds such as bush turkeys, wallabies, koalas, ducks, the occasional snake and once a turtle in the library. âA giant wood moth was not something we had seen before,â she said on Wednesday. Giant wood moths are found along the Queensland and NSW coast. Females can weigh up to 30 grams and have a wingspan of up to 25cm.

Giant Wood Moth Spotted In Australian School

Builders took photos of the giant wood moth before returning it to the forest. A giant moth so big and so heavy that it struggled to fly was found at an Australian school on Monday. Builders found the giant wood moth while constructing new classrooms at Queensland s Mount Cotton state school, reports The Guardian. The moth was described as being about as big as a rat. The school s principal, Meagan Steward, called it an amazing find . Our new building is situated on the edge of a rainforest and during the build the moth was found, Ms Steward told ABC Radio Brisbane. She said that while staff and students were used to seeing a range of animals at the school, the moth was unlike anything they had seen before.

Giant wood moth so heavy it struggles to fly found in Australia

Queensland Museum entomologist Dr Christine Lambkin identified the creature as a wood moth and told ABC Radio: They fly very, very poorly. In most cases when the females emerge, they just crawl up a tree or stump of a fence post and wait for the males to find them. This species ranges from north Queensland all the way through to southern NSW. The wingspan of the female is up to 25cm. It weighs up to 30 grams. These moths aren’t very common to see in Australia, but Dr Lambkin says they aren’t rare or unusual. Suddenly the small, common moths seen in England don’t seem too bad.
