澳大利亚昭和蛾的数量在经历长期衰退后出现显著恢复1。该物种的种群在2017年至2019年间下降了99%，但近年来在东海岸达到创纪录水平1。最近两年的高降雨量被认为可能促进了这一种群的恢复1。昭和蛾每年迁移距离达1,000公里1。
除昭和蛾外，圣诞甲虫等其他澳大利亚本土昆虫也显示出恢复迹象1。圣诞甲虫曾在12月前后成百万地出现，但近年变得稀少1。公民科学家正通过监测项目帮助追踪这些物种的种群健康状况1。民众可以通过Moth Tracker和iNaturalist平台上传昭和蛾照片，为种群监测工作做出贡献1。
Australia's bogong moths have experienced a dramatic recovery after years of decline, with populations on the east coast reaching record levels this year 1. The species had plummeted by 99 percent between 2017 and 2019, but recent high rainfall appears to have facilitated a significant turnaround in their numbers 1. These remarkable insects undertake an annual migration spanning 1,000 kilometers, making their population dynamics particularly important for understanding regional ecosystem health 1.
The bogong moth's rebound is part of a broader pattern of recovery among Australia's native insects. Christmas beetles, which once appeared in the millions around December but had become increasingly scarce in recent years, are also showing signs of resurgence 1. To help monitor these species and support conservation efforts, citizen scientists can contribute observations through platforms such as Moth Tracker and iNaturalist, where they can upload photographs of bogong moths and track population trends 1.
