Stars, Magnets, and Tiny Navigators: The Bogong Moth's Incredible Journey

We explore groundbreaking research showing bogong moths use star patterns to navigate long-distance migrations, with magnetic cues acting as backup. Through clever experiments and neural recordings, we reveal how a brain the size of a grain of rice reads the Milky Way to reach alpine caves, estivate, and return—rewriting what we thought insects could do.
