Scientists tagged 14,000 bogong moths in the Snowy Mountains to track their mysterious migration—but none have been spotted yet.

Meanwhile, online sightings of untagged moths have surged to over 2,700, helping map their paths. Next year, scientists plan to expand light traps to finally catch these elusive travelers—and uncover more secrets of their epic journey across Australia.
