The deberra (bogong moth) journey is again underway. Deberra are an important species for the Taungurung Nation. A number of seasonal changes may help us understand the relationship between Taungurung biik (Country) and deberra. Large numbers of crows, ravens and currawongs gathering in certain areas, particularly around rocky outcrops, might indicate their presence. We encourage you to load any confirmed deberra sightings up to Moth Tracker https://lnkd.in/gUD92twh to help Zoos Victoria’s important citizen science project. Deberra are a small, brown moth. They are identified by the two spots on each wing joined by a black band. The attached picture was taken by Moth Tracker Lyn in Tamworth through the moth tracker project.
