While soil moisture levels have been proven to be a key factor in the moth’s lifecycle, the general consensus for why Bogong moths declined so rapidly in 2017 was thought to be due to a combination of factors. Along with drought, the period saw increasingly more land turned over to cropping in their feeding/ breeding ground. With land use change comes a change in soil conditions and general site ecology.
