No, it isn't MOTHRA come to life :confused... but it almost is .

I think it's a Bogong moth .. they come around each year and bang on the windows at night . The local indigenous people used to feast on them . Fancy a snack :eek:

Their ghastly compound eyes glow red in the light... imagine being alone in a farm house somewhere in Gippsland, hearing something unusual in the next room you go in and see a herd of these monsters trying to get into the room! :eek: :eek:

Sir, I doth enquire, "Why is your flying boat filled with eels?", Is this some new trend.

Moreover, where does one find and store a flying boat; especially one full of eels?

I humbly await your reply.

Pedr

P.S. Cliff - nothing awful was said unless you 1. hired him a flying boat or 2. farmed eels that have mysteriously gone missing.

P.P.S. Just found the Toronto Sun's article by Ian Gillespie and so should correct my grammar to read hovercraft - still say it translates to flying boat.

Pedr you know I am just so...o disappointed to discover the boss wasn't being rude, crude and unattractive! :( Those cats must be having a beneficial influence on him :D

Mike the moths are about that size here too and the cats are constantly bashing into the walls and windows catching them. The biggist ones I've seen were at Howards place they were nearly twice that size and the street was a mess of road kill from them gathering at street lights and attacking the passing cars. :cheers:
