Bogong moths

[Martin Butterfield <>]

There is a lot of Bursaria spinosa (Blackthorn, for those that like stable names) in flower out this way.  That is usually a hive of diverse insect activity.  This year just a few ants.  We have a couple of beds of large daisies which as usually covered in beetles and bugs.  This year hardly any insects

An outcome of a drought I suspect.

Hi Elizabeth,

I stay at Perisher after the ski season, usually the last weekend of October.  Some years there are many bogongs crowding around the windows at night, last October there might have been about 4 in the whole week we were there.

Maybe they were early, or late, but hardly any when some years there are loads of them.

What about bogong moths this year? None seen here before Christmas, and no complaints from Parliament House.  Has anyone been to the mountains and seen them under the over hanging rocks ?
