Moths - Outside my office
I found this moth on the concrete walkway outside my office this morning.
The ruler indicates 150 mm (6 inches)accross.
More detail of the landing gear and navigation room.
They normaly live in these trees, so if they don't move you do not see them.
Cunning colours, no.
A smaller one that did not want to open his wings.

Do these things carry off pets and small children?

Now that's a big-assed moth. And here I was thinking that Australia was the place with all of the huge insects.

Reminds me of the big sphinx moths we have around here; the most common larval form of them is the tomato worm in this area. I wonder if the moth Kees is showing is a type of sphinx moth.
