Yesterday I spotted a Blue-faced Honeyeater and Forest Kingfisher having a go in midair, at what I first thought was a tiny honeyeater. The victim turned out to be a giant moth. It appears to be an Endoxyla sp. Do birding aussers know of a site where I can have this insect identified to specific level?

With every introduction of a plant or animal that goes feral this continent becomes a little less unique, a little less Australian.

Hi Denise, You could try the CSIRO website. They used to have a page ‘moths online’ but when I tried to access it this morning it wasn’t available. They have updated their site. You may be able to track it down through the main CSIRO site. It is difficult to ID invertebrates to species level on the web. If you have a photo you could send it to the closest museum.
