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 as it migrates to the Bogong High Plains.
The moth's name 'Bogong' is derived from the Australian Aboriginal Dhudhuroa word Bugung, describing the moth. Although, an alternative theory suggests that the mountain range may mean 'big person' in the local Ngayawung Aboriginal language.
Usage examples of "bogong moth".
The previously unexploited highlands of southeastern Australia began to be visited regularly during the summer, by Aborigines feasting not only on cycad nuts and yams but also on huge hibernating aggregations of a migratory moth called the bogong moth, which tastes like a roasted chestnut when grilled.
