Agrotis iunfusa
Small brown moth known for migrations over southern Australia.
Yes, people think they are large because they know they used to be used as food. They were just very numerous. I also notice that people remember Emperor moths being much larger than they actually are.
I always imagined that Bogong moths were enormous.
That sounds correct Argy Bee
Wing pattern is like Agrotis infusa?
