Bogong Moth (Agrotis infusa) round pinback button. Tinplate round button badge with plastic backing. 37mm wide.

Designed by Cheryl Hodges based on her original painting.

The Bogong moth is a nocturnal moth native to Australia, known for its remarkable annual migration. Every spring, millions travel from the lowland plains of southern Australia to the cool caves of the Australian Alps, where they estivate to escape the summer heat. These moths are an essential food source for many animals, including the endangered mountain pygmy possum. However, their population has declined in recent years and in December 2021 the Bogong moth was added to the IUCN Red List as an Endangered Species. Historically, Indigenous Australians harvested Bogong moths as a valuable food source.
