Opodiphthera eucalypti
Seen in our garden, this moth is the first of its kind I have seen, although I was able to immediately identify it due to it's huge size. Close up, it reminds me of a teddy bear with a very hairy body. I love its striped socks! :)

beautiful moth and great photography ! He makes me feel a little too warm but yes, I love his socks...
I love these moths. We don't see nearly enough of them any more (like when we were kids). I hope they are doing ok.
