The alpine bogong moth, scientifically known as *Agrotis infusa*, is a nocturnal insect native to the mountainous regions of southeastern Australia. These moths are known for their distinctive dark brown wings and a wingspan of about 4 to 5 centimeters. They are particularly famous for their migratory behavior, traveling long distances to escape the heat of summer. During the cooler months, bogong moths migrate to high-altitude areas, such as the Australian Alps, where they find cooler temperatures and abundant food sources. This migration is crucial for their survival, as it allows them to avoid extreme heat and predators. The moths play an important role in the ecosystem, serving as a food source for various birds and other wildlife.
