I found it in my garage minutes ago. Never seen anything like it before. It's kinda freaking me out but that might just be the smoke.

Bones · « **Reply #1 on:** December 21, 2005, 07:23:24 am »

Had a closer look. Very freaky.

Bones · « **Reply #2 on:** December 21, 2005, 08:01:12 am »

I just emailed the Australia Entomology division of CSIRO. Hopefully they can identify it.

Stay tuned to this exciting channel for further details.

maybe it's an arcade eating termite?

Stingray · « **Reply #4 on:** December 21, 2005, 08:13:07 am »

I've never found anything remotely like that on ---my bottom---. You might want to see a doctor.

Perhaps this is why it appears to be frowning.

And not moving.

how's your connection today Stingray?

Bones · « **Reply #9 on:** December 21, 2005, 08:30:53 am »

Bloody hell. I don't know what is going on here. It must be the heat or something....I just had the worlds biggest ant crawling around in my office. Haven't seen one of these before either.

I feel like I got bugs crawling on me, can't stop scratching and fidgeting now.

I can only assume the insects are mounting a full scale global attack on my abode. I am not sure if I will make it through the night.

Bones · « **Reply #11 on:** December 21, 2005, 08:36:03 am »

The moth lives but I killed the big ant. I now have giant ant on my shoe.

I have a theory into that; I don't see any bugs in those pictures, just empty space. Perhaps you're seeing things that aren't there?

Can you feel them crawling under your skin yet?

Yeah but nothing an exacto knife can't dig out.

Here's a photo of that moth in flight. Very freaky, indeed!

mr.Curmudgeon · « **Reply #15 on:** December 21, 2005, 09:04:37 am »

Actually, it is a species of Hawk Moth (SPHINGIDAE), specifically (Sphingidae Macroglossinae Cizara ardeniae) or shortened as (Cizara Ardeniae)

- They are some of the fastest flying insects, capable of flying at over 50 km/h (30 miles per hour)

Pretty damn crappy still. I'll just have to live with it today and hope that it's better when I get back from vacation. If it still sucks then, I guess I may have to take action.

Bones did it now. There's gonna be a pro-ant lobby protest in a few hours once they can mobilize tens of tens of people to take off from taking off of work.

mr.Curmudgeon · « **Reply #21 on:** December 21, 2005, 11:04:07 am »

And you guys say I'm a one-trick pony. How did you turn a MOTH thread into a political diatribe?
I don't even think I could have done that, unless we were discussing the 'Chickenhawk Moth'...then I may have been able to relate it to our Dear (Law Breakin') Leader. (See what you've started?)

HAPPY HOOOOOLIIIIIIDAAAAAYS!

Also, just to preempt the oh-so-inevitable, and ever-so witty "you're gay" retort, let me just clarify....Yes, I like Moths!

Now...PUT THE LOTION IN THE BASKET!!!!!

Everyone knows you're anti-military. You posted the pic.

I'm pro freedom. So I said so.

JackTucky · « **Reply #29 on:** December 21, 2005, 12:28:48 pm »

I missed the whole bacon thing. Can someone explain it? Please don't post links, because I don't know how to click those. Explain it all HERE.

Thanks

We like bacon because it tastes good.

Mr.C just drew a parallel to himself and a homosexual sociopath who stalks and kills overweight women in order to make himself a female skin of human flesh.

Well, not overweight specifically, just one. Needed the extra back skin. Ya' know, broad shoulders and all.

That I'd f*ck me.

Unless your genitals are among those female qualities, it makes you gay.

Then you require surgery to acquire masculine qualities.
