Gigantic Moth So Big It Can Barely Fly Discovered At School In Australia

Moths are known similarity of butterflies but this insects is not colorful. This giant moth is hardly fly, because it is so heavy. Builders rarely discovered the ‘monster’ insect at Mount Cotton state school, which is near a rainforest in Queensland, Australia. One of the world’s largest moth species. What is so special about it? The moth was about as big as a rat.

The school's principal, Meagan Steward, said the moth was "an amazing find". Steward said due to the school's 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. "A giant wood moth was not something we had seen before," she said on Wednesday. The initial ABC news report and photos of the moth generated so much media interest the school was forced to direct questions about the moth to the Queensland education department.
