Found this big critter on the concrete at my local gas station in south-east Melbourne, Australia. It was missing two legs on the right so I took it home to release into my garden to try prolong it's life.
What a large and beautiful friend! Looks like a swift moth, mayyyybe in the genus Oxycanus, but don't quote me on that.
#2303 - Wiseana cervinata - Pasture Porina
AKA Elhamma cervinata, Hepialus despectus, Porina vexata, and Pielus variolaris.
A Hepialid endemic to New Zealand, where it was first described by Francis Walker in 1865. I'm not sure how many of those scientific names above are the result of him describing the same species more than once. He became notorious for that.
These are both males - females have indistinct markings at best. A common moth in grassy areas around New Zealand, where the caterpillars devour clover and grass, and may have been a pest of kūmara when sweet potato was more intensively grown as a staple crop.
Horopito, North Island Volcanic Zone, New Zealand
