Giant Wood Moth Spotted In Australian School

Builders took photos of the giant wood moth before returning it to the forest.
A giant moth -- so big and so heavy that it struggled to fly -- was found at an Australian school on Monday. Builders found the giant wood moth while constructing new classrooms at Queensland's Mount Cotton state school, reports The Guardian. The moth was described as being about as big as a rat.
The school's principal, Meagan Steward, called it an "amazing find".
"Our new building is situated on the edge of a rainforest and during the build the moth was found," Ms Steward told ABC Radio Brisbane. She said that while staff and students were used to seeing a range of animals at the school, the moth was unlike anything they had seen before.
