The enormous moth was found while working on a new building that has an admin area and five classrooms at Mount Cotton State School, south of Brisbane in the Redlands.The primary school, which has just more than 600 students, posted photos of the scary-looking creature on social media.
“We weren’t at school when the builders found the moth but they took some photos for us,” Ms Steward said. “They wrote some very creative and imaginative pieces of writing, including Mrs Wilson getting eaten by the moths.” A giant moth the size of a rat was found by a tradie during the build of the Mt Cotton State School in Redland, Queensland. Picture: Mt Cotton State School Facebook.Dr Lambkin said wood moths weighed up to 30g and the female wingspan reached up to 25cm, while the males were much smaller in size.“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.
