I nearly stepped on this thing out the front of my house last Saturday night. I didn't have a big enough dragon to feed it to and to be honest i was in that much awe of this thing i don't think i would've anyway.

I hit one of those moths in my 4wd not long ago. It was dark and I thought it might have been a micro bat but hubby wouldn't let me stop as home was only a few k's away. I checked when we got home, it was on the bull bar, still alive! I couldn't believe it. I felt bad then for not stopping sooner.

you would need some really big mothballs to keep that one away..
