The Bogong moth (Agrotis infusa) is a unique and iconic Australian species. It remains one of just two insects known, along with the monarch butterfly, to navigate over a thousand kilometres to its summer aestivation sites without ever having been there. It is a truly unique and wonderful species whose navigation and biology remain an inspiring mystery.
