Called Bogong Moths because the moths move to the High Country including Mt Bogong to rest during the summer heat.

I'm looking out for any further Bogong moths, with a white code on their backs, as 10,000 were released for tracking.

Mm good point, but the codes are v identifiable. The blue may have Beeb a trick of light.
Tx for getting back, I will be v vigilant for bogans, don't worry
