How annoyed was he when he found out he’s been flying g for days and was still where he started

crazy to think that this means the moths DNA basically contains a map of the stars

So there’s a map of the stars in their DNA. 🤯

makes me sad thinking about how much light pollution we produce

what about dungbeetles they been known to use stars to navigate for more than decade hence the moth cant be the first?

WHAT?!?!?!?! This gave me goosebumps!!! moths are little astronomers that's SO FREAKIN adorable. I've been doing astronomy since I was a kid, took me a long time to memorize major constellations. I'm just impressed moths can do this so easily, like most people i know can't navigate their night skies

Very interesting. I’m really curious as to how this is a heritable trait? Did they speculate in the research paper at all? It kinda makes me wonder if Sheldrake wasn’t onto something with “morphic resonance.” I’m also curious about how long this species has been around in its current form? Would its ancestors have had a different “map”? I dunno pretty wild my dude.

Thanks for sharing that info. Very cool. I wonder if the satellites confuse them at all?

Great study. And yet we still dont know what the native host plants are. 🙄

is that why they always get lost and end up in Bendigo?

That’s incredible. Somehow their DNA must be encoded with incredibly accurate astral navigation instructions, plus some way to recognise the rigt spot visually when they arrive… and it must change over the generations to match the changes on the ground and in the stars!

I did a course about Bogong moths. They are really affected by light pollution, cities and towns make them go off course, which means they don’t reach their destination. These moths are a major food source for mountain Pygmy possums, and provide essential nutrients to the mothers.

who is funding these experiments? how do you find an engineer to create these pieces of equipment and covering the costs? how do people get an income out of those sort of thing? or is it hobby?

If the stars rotate above through the night, how do they stay on track?
