Abstract
Bogong moths (Agrotis infusa) can rely on the stars of the night sky to orient their migrations of distances up to 1,000 km. This navigational mechanism is likely supported by a suite of directionally tuned neurons distributed in the optic lobe, central complex, and lateral accessory lobes of the Bogong brain.
