A giant moth, the heaviest species of its kind, has been found at a primary school in Australia.
Builders at the school near Brisbane discovered the giant wood moth while building new classrooms, ABC Rado Brisbane reported.
Female giant wood moths can have a wingspan of up to 25cm and weigh up to 30 grams.
Mount Cotton State School principal, Meagan Steward told the radio station it was an amazing find. Our staff and students weren t surprised by the find because we have a range of animals at Mount Cotton, but certainly this moth was not something we had seen before.
