Re: Common Australian Owl-Fly ~ Not so common in the Philippines
I have just been emailing with an Australian expert and while this is an Owlfly it is apparently not a type found in Australia. Originally Posted by joebranko

Any bug that is not capable of killing you, probably isn't Australian

Re: Common Australian Owl-Fly ~ Not so common in the Philippines
apparently they have a far ranging habitat but aren't active so much in the daytime. Which accounts for not many people seeing them. Originally Posted by Ziggy
