Australian Bogong moths undertake epic 600-mile migrations twice yearly, using the starry sky for navigation. Researchers discovered that these moths utilize both the Earth's magnetic field and celestial cues, specifically the Milky Way, to orient themselves during their nocturnal journeys. This dual navigation system ensures survival even under adverse conditions. The study highlights the sophisticated navigational abilities of insects and emphasizes the importance of light pollution reduction for the endangered species' conservation.
