Bogong Moths usually migrate in spring each year, especially from southern Queensland, central NSW and western Victoria to the Australian
Alps, and then back again in autumn. Recent research suggests they may also be in South Australia, Western Australia and Tasmania, but more
data is needed - including via Moth Tracker.
Bogong Moths are facing a number of threats, including extreme weather events, drought and climate change, light pollution on their
migration routes, changed wide-scale agricultural practices and insecticides, predation by introduced species and habitat loss. Following an
estimated 99.5% collapse, Bogong Moths were added to the IUCN Endangered Species list in December 2021. Scientists are currently working
hard to understand more about the decline of Bogong Moths and how to protect the species, so with Moth Tracker, we can all do our bit to
help!
During the Bogong Moth’s spring to summer migration in 2023, we received 594 moth sightings on Moth Tracker, with 291 of those confirmed to
be Endangered Bogong Moths. To all the Moth Trackers out there, thank you for your support!
