Awesome video of #BogongMoths in the #AustralianAlps displays they may be small but the sheer number makes them extremely important for energy flow ( #possumfood ) back up the mountain due to their #migration thousands of kilometres.

#BogongMoths are a crucial spring food source for #MountainPygmypossums - declines in Moth numbers are an urgent threat to the possums’ survival.

A study shows Australian Bogong moths use the night sky for navigation during their 1,000-km migration, making them the first invertebrates documented to do so. Their brain activity suggests strong responses to specific star orientations.

Scientists have found evidence that #Australia's Bogong moths follow the stars to make their annual journey from the country's southeast to the Australian Alps, 600 miles (966 km) away.

How do animals navigate? A recent study in @nature.com reveals that #BogongMoths use a stellar compass for their long-distance migration ✨️🧭🌏
I was asked for my opinion about this fascinating result by my dear colleagues @lundvision.bsky.social 🤩

How migrating Australian moths find caves hundreds of miles away
Billions of nocturnal Bogong moths migrate up to 1,000 km to cool caves in the Australian Alps that they have never previously visited. New research shows how they may find their way there and back.

Black felt and a fake night sky: how scientists proved bogong moths use the stars to navigate to unknown lands
The ‘remarkable’ Australian insects use celestial cues as well as the Earth’s magnetic field to guide them, researchers say

While migration is not uncommon in insects, the Bogong moth’s migration has been of interest to experts; How does a moth travel to a place it’s never visited before? Researchers believe they now have the answer: stellar navigation."

This Australian moth may be the 1st insect ever discovered to use stars for long-distance navigation
"We know that daytime migratory insects use the sun, so testing the starry sky seemed an obvious thing to try."
