Everything about The Bogong Moth totally explained
The
Bogong moth (
Agrotis infusa) is a temperate
species of
night-flying moth notable for appearing in large numbers around major public buildings in
Canberra, the
capital city of
Australia, during
spring (late September to November). The moth's name is reported as having come from their occurrence on
granite mountains - known as "Bogongs" by local
Indigenous Australians. This cultural use is no longer practised. The term "Urri Arra" refers to the Bogong moth feasts that these Aboriginal people held.
A town,
Bogong, in the
Victoria state of
Australia has been named after the
moth.
Infestations
At the start of October 2007 Bogong moths again invaded
Sydney city. They mainly gathered in the block around around the
Governor Phillip Tower, especially on the building on Phillip St housing the Prime Minister's Sydney office. They tend to gather in the corners and in niches in the sandstone buildings nearby.
