Ok, so I didn't spot this one out in the field, but I had to show the link as I never even knew that we had such big moths in Australia. Have any of our QLD members ever stumbled across one of these?

No, but you know that everything is big in Queensland. Big snakes, big spiders, big crocodiles, big barra, big mangos, big sapphires, big story tellers.

You can tell a Queenslander, not much, but you can tell one.

[Jaros]

Lucky they cant fly to well, imagine a heap of them banging into your windows at nighttime trying to get to the light.

That pic of the Tawny's is amazing JD3. For a while there I thought you had posted the wrong photo and there was nothing there :lol:
I wish the lizard or the cocky though would make a meal of that freakin' creepy spider :argh:

Thanks. I noticed them when I pulled up near that tree to detect the area as I always look up to make sure im not parking under dead limbs. They didn't budge the whole time I ended up being there bar a slightest move of a head now n then. A full 3 hours.
They amaze me.

When life gets you down, spare a thought for the male Orb Weaver. :lol:

 

[Manpa]
