Original watercolour painting - Bogong Moth - Agrotis infusa
An original watercolour painting of a Bogong Moth, Agrotis infusa, an Australian native insect.
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.
Frame size is 325mm x 325mm. The image size (white area inside the mat) is 110mm × 110mm. This painting can also be purchased unframed, enquire for price through the contact page. Please note colours may be slightly different to what appears on your screen. Price includes postage in Australia, by Australia Post.
