Macrothylacia rubi aka Fox Moth

Other day, My Mum Was in the kitchen doin' her stuff at night, when Suddently this moth appeared from nothing! She called me to take it to outside! But while That I took these shots!
The pictures are not so perfect, since It was at night, but I wanted to share this buddy! It was Big, and this is the 1st Moth I See this year! =)

Thanks Ruth For the help in ID this Moth!

For some reason moths are very difficult to make good photos even when they are still...I was trying this recently, and reminds me I should put the photos on the computer to have a proper look today :-) ????? · 2009-06-28: 06:31

Great close-ups, Ricky!! I always think moths look very dusty...and they never seem to know where to go...unless it's towards the light. Strange creatures. lookagain · 2009-06-28: 15:48
