Martin,

It is Oxycanus silvanus, which emerges regularly around Canberra at this time of year.

Cheers

The Fromouths have returned to our property at Carwoola. This seems to have coincided with an abundance of large (5cm long) moths of which a sample is shown in the attachment. Can anyone put a name to this species?

It definitely adds excitement to life in my study as the ghostly shape of a Frogmounth swoops out of the darkness, grabs its prey off the window and goes silently on its way!

Martin
