We and others ploughed through a cloud of the moths between Braidwood and Bungendore returning to Canberra, unfortunately.

Ian, I notice Agrotis infusa is listed as 'non-sensitive' in the NM profile. Is this correct?
The sp. is listed as Endangered in IUCN Red List.
There was a review of the sp. proposing it be included under the EPBC Act. That was 2024, I don't think it made the listing due to inadequate data. Don't pay for adequate research, don't have data.
