Talk:Opodiphthera eucalypti

message: I took some photos of a quite spectacular moth on my property in Pemberton, Western Australia which looks remarkably similar to the photos of your (possibly) Emperor Gum Moth, but I can't be sure. JAW 14:15, 27 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: In the unlikely event that you check back here 7 years later, judging by it's appearance and (especially) location, I'd say it is the Helena Gum Moth. Ypna (talk) 21:20, 13 December 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Maybe Emperor Gum Moth? 

message: I'm a little confused about the statement, When the caterpillars hatch they are black with short hairs on top of little nodes on their bodies called tubercles. The hairs are not poisonous and will not sting..  Is it somehow surprising that they're not poisonous?  If so, then it should say something like, Unlike most species, the hairs are not poisonous..., or whatever is appropriate.  As written, it gives no reason why the reader should have expected them to be poisonous, and leaves you wondering why it's mentioned at all.  -- RoySmith (talk) 13:51, 14 April 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Poisonous hairs? 

message: The Liquid Amber link redirected to "Coca-Cola".  I'm sure this was just someone having a little fun...  I'm going to fix it.

replies: text: Probably because they look rather vicious. The reason it's not mentioned is because I can only think of one (the io moth) example of a poisonous moth in this Family. --Kugamazog 21:03, 4 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Redirect Wrong? 

message: Hi there,
We believe that the caterpillar we spotted in Canada was a Emperor Gum Moth.  This was during the month of August.  Given that Australia and Canada have different climates, is it not odd to find it Canada?
Cheers,
Shaun

I have one of these Emperor Gum moths in my kitchen here in Greenville, SC, USA.....? How'd it get here, and it is injured one of the antenna tip is broken, and the back lower wing is split...it's still very much alive and I'm trying to nuriture it, but what do they eat?  Will it heal and be able to fly again, I've not touch it, only slid a card under it to lift it.....it's so amazing to look at.

thread_title: Question

message: Way back in April 2006 some kind soul made a few random edits:
https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Opodiphthera_eucalypti&type=revision&diff=48447861&oldid=48380137
including changing "Females are generally larger than males" to "Females are generally smaller than males", this incorrect statement has survived for almost 10 years!  I'll change it back.  It would be a bit of an exception if the male was larger than the female. --Tony Wills (talk) 05:29, 21 January 2016 (UTC)
