A moth so large that it struggles to fly has been found in Australia.
An unsuspecting tradesman was working on a building site at Mount Cotton State School in the Redlands, South Queensland, when he discovered the giant moth.
Not mirroring the initial reaction of many, the school is very excited to have been the home of this find, with their social media page saying it is an “amazing” discovery.
Principal Meagan Steward said the moth was the same size as ‘two fists put together’ and was released back into the nearby forest. It certainly isn’t to everyone’s comfort, but snaps were taken of the beast before it was released from the classroom.
Due to being so large, the creature struggles to support its own body weight in flight.
