Bogong moth
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.
