Qantas Amazing Australia
Recently on ‘Burke’s Backyard’ Don and Dr Geoff Monteith, Senior Curator of Insects at the Queensland Museum, went on the hunt for the Giant Wood Moth, which is a fascinating part of garden ecology. The larvae are better known as witchetty grubs. Although these huge grubs, which burrow into the trunks of trees look destructive and may be found in dying trees, they often won’t be the cause of a tree’s death as they do not burrow deep into the tree.
