One key difference between Bogong Moths (Agrotis infusa) and many other moths is a distinctive dark stripe that runs down each wing. You will also see a spot at the top of the stripe that is shaped like a circle. The spot at the bottom of the stripe is shaped like a kidney. Both dots are the same colour.

Bogong Moths hold their wings flat over their body. An adult's wingspan is usually 4-5cm long and their body length is up to 2.5cm long.
