A is a unique and fascinating nocturnal moth species native to Australia. These moths are known for their extraordinary long-distance migrations, where they travel thousands of kilometers to reach the Australian Alps during the summer months. Bogongs are medium-sized moths with wingspans of about 4 to 5 centimeters, displaying a distinctive pattern of dark brown or gray wings. During their migration, bogongs seek refuge in cool alpine caves and crevices, forming dense clusters to escape the heat of the day. They undergo a diurnal torpor, reducing their metabolic activity and conserving energy.
