Migrating #bogong moths are still moving thru Canberra. Here’s one under the door at work. 1/n #migration #AgrotisInfusa

Of course, actual #bogong moths tiling on a cave wall high in the Brindabella Ranges are the best! There are plenty arriving at the moment, reflecting on all those observations by the good citizens of #Canberra. #Namadgi #BogongMoth #Aestivation #AgrotisInfusa

and "Bogong Moth" by Reko Rennie also at the National Museum. There are more. #OurNMA

"Bogong Moths" by Jim Williams and Matthew Harding at the National Museum, #OurNMA

We also have a bunch of #bogong moth inspired artworks such as "Moth Ascending the Capital" by Alexander Knox in Kambah, #Canberra #art

This year #Canberra is clearly in the running to be the #bogong moth citizen reporting capital, based on the latest Moth Tracker reports at https://t.co/KxbR6t2yXq. #AgrotisInfusa #Citizen #BogongMoth #Migration

Fantastic sites and so encouraging to see so many moths on the move. Keen to see whether they stay and aestivation or move higher up the mountain. 6/6

And we found heaps of moths (I’m talking millions) amongst the granite boulders after the ravens gave them away. 5/n

In other good bogong news we explored the rugged western escarpment of the Mount Gingera Plateau 4/n

We checked Mt Gingera in #Namadgi National Park and the number of bogong moths continue to increase. 3/n

But it’s better to see them in the bush camouflaged against the rock or litter. 2/n

Swarms of #bogong moths on the wing in Canberra tonight with reports from Civic, Cook and Mawson playing fields (heaps around the floodlights). Some of the ones on my back patio are fat as — those larva have been on a good wicket somewhere. #migration #AgrotisInfusa

Up on Mt Gingera today. No bogong moths in any of the sites on top yet, but c. 20K in a single cave at 1780 m on the western edge. That’s right, 20K moths have found their way to ONE spot with none scattered across the other possibilities. Amazing! #migration #fieldwork

Checked Tidbinbilla Mtn in #Namadgi for bogongs following a tip off from Ranger Ali. They’re still there but tucked away in the crevices. At c. 1600 m asl and in marginal real estate (crevices not deep enough) they won’t stay (too warm). Encouraging though.

You can record your sightings of bogong moths at portals such as Moth Tracker ( https://t.co/KxbR6t2yXq), @inaturalist and @NatureMapr. All records will find their way into the @atlaslivingaust.

A new thread for the coming #bogong moth migration and aestivation. More wrinkles for me but this new generation female from my back patio is perfect. #AgrotisInfusa, #BogongMoth, #Migration, #Canberrra

Bogong moths use a stellar compass!

New discoveries about how bogong moths navigate long distances could help advance technologies in robotics, navigation systems, and conservation planning. Every year, billions of bogong moths travel up to 1,000 km from across southeastern Australia to summer in cool caves in the

@LundVision With @LundVision’s Eric Warrant and UWS’s @kateumbers we’re trying to measure what bogong moths really want in terms of aestivation sites. #BogongMoth #AgrotisInfusa aestivation

The intra-day temp range in this granite boulder-formed grotto rarely exceeds a degree, though the max touches 16 degC at times which is where researchers such as Eric Warrant from @LundVision worry is getting too hot for the bogong moths. #Aestivation #BogongMoth #AgrotisInfusa
