Bogong Moths

[grandmoon]

The Bogong moths are here again.  I don't remember them being in such plague proportions as the are this year.

Last night there would have been 4 to 5 hundred of them in the garage, and a couple of hundred in the house.

One of the local restaurants uses the bogong moths in some of the meals.

....a sign of strong winds blowing them off course.. towards the East coast.

Different where Grandmoon lives though, they usually are found in that area.

Chef Kurt Gruber from Canberra's Ironbark Cafe cooks up “Brandy Flamed Bogong Moth Frittata”. Cos he can.

Aborigines used to gather them from large boulders in the Snowies in summer and would make one of two recipes. Either they roasted their wings and legs off and ate them straight, or they squooshed them together and made moth cakes.

Eating moths as a meal in a restaraunt isn't very appealing.
