#132 Following the Amazing Flight of the Bogong Moth with Dr Eleanor Drinkwater

At CitSciOz25, I found myself immersed in the world of bogong moths with Dr Eleanor Drinkwater, whose enthusiasm for these small, unassuming insects is contagious.She explained how these moths, despite their size, undertake one of the longest insect migrations on the planet.They emerge in northern New South Wales and travel hundreds or even thousands of kilometres to the Snowy Mountains, where they crowd into caves and aestivate through the hottest months before returning as temperatures fall.More Informationhttps://www.bogong.org/https://www.eleanordrinkwater.com/https://invertebratesaustralia.org/https://mothtracker.swifft.net.au/https://citizenscience.org.au/citscioz25/About The Citizen Science Show PodcastThis episode of the Citizen Science Show podcast is coming to you from CitSciOz25 the Australian Citizen Science Association conference, in Melbourne Connect, a world-class innovation precinct at The University of Melbourne.If you enjoy this content, please like and subscribe to our show wherever you get your podcasts.
