Australian Woman Photographs Moth Larger Than Her Hand

An Australian woman recently took to Facebook to share photos of a giant moth she stumbled across in outside of Brisbane.
Pam Taylor posted the first photos of the frighteningly large insect on the Amateur Entomology Australia group, on February 23. The pics showed a huge grey moth clinging to a tree branch. To show just how large the moth really was, the woman also photographed it next to her open palm. Obviously, the photos got a lot of attention from the other amateur entomologists, many of whom recognized the insect as a specimen of Endoxyla Cinereus, or the Giant Wood Moth.

I've seen moths almost that big in Virginia back in the old days. They weren't all that uncommon. Harmless of course.
An entomologist told me they are in decline because people kill then when they see them.
Not everything scary looking is harmful, wolf spiders for example. I don't kill them but the missus does. I kind of like the idea of wolf spiders roaming the house in their solitary quest to eradicate the bugs I truly don't like.

Easy to find a moth bigger than a hand.
Just find a very small hand...
