Summary:
- Bogong moths, found in Australia, use the stars in the night sky to navigate long distances, up to hundreds of kilometers, during their annual migration.
- Researchers have discovered that these moths can detect the position of the stars and use them as a compass to guide their migration, similar to how some birds and other animals navigate using celestial cues.
- This remarkable ability of the Bogong moths provides insights into the sophisticated navigation strategies employed by insects and highlights the importance of understanding how different species interact with and utilize their environment.
