Sydney is experiencing a biblical plague of big fat filled moths. And unless you are an entomologist or love creepy crawlies, it's foul.

The creatures have taken over parts of the city coating the Sydney Harbour Bridge and some buildings in the CBD in a coat of living, breathing grubby fluff.

Dr Dave Britto, an entomologist at the Australian Museum, says the insects are bogong moths that have been pushed off course by strong winds. 

I've taken to chasing them around the house with a big wad of paper or sucking them up the vacuum. But apparently we should be eating them. A  "munch a moth" campaign is being led by Jean-Paul Bruneteau, 51, a French-born chef.

Allegedly they are lovely, tasting a bit like popcorn but are also very fattening. The chef suggests pulling off the furry wings, then popping the moths in the oven for three minutes in a bit of canola oil. 

Yum yum.

Word spread fast and they were soon contacted on Myspace by designers and photographers who wanted their work featured in Dirrty Glam, and it evolved to encompass music-fashion-life-art. “Today we work with people from all around the world. Lots of fashion and music artists are contacting us to do the famous "dirrty" interview.” The girls Cory Kennedy collaborative shirts line is coming soon.

The crazy kids at Sydney's Duke magazine have found a clever way of raising funds for the next issue of their chuckle inducing, acid tongued, fashion skewed periodical. By selling a page to
 the highest bidder! The owner is then free to do with it what they please- so if you're up for airing some pent up greivances or gags, bid away.

If you are in an open relationship, (remember these from a few years back?), why not track your lover with: forget me not panties.

Though of course they're actually a hoax perpetuated by the Panty Raiders.  The Panty Raiders aim to destabalise media - to question authority in internet age and produce rebellious, political work. Any girl can be a panty raider: why not sign up?
