What to do if you're seeing more bogong moths around

Key points

• Millions of bogong moths are currently migrating across New South Wales, with many appearing in urban areas. Experts attribute this influx to factors like light pollution and weather patterns, which can disrupt their navigation.
• While the moths' numbers are higher than in recent years, their populations had significantly declined around 2017 and 2019. Researchers are tracking the moths' movements to better understand their migration routes and support conservation efforts.
• Residents are encouraged to report sightings and reduce light pollution to aid the moths' journey.
