Headline check

Neither of the two things this headline claims turned up in the report.

  • “Mike Baird” is named in the headline. We could not find it in the report.
  • “Cricket” is named in the headline. We could not find it in the report.

Figures, names and quoted words in the headline, looked for in the report itself — not in the summary above. Names are matched as they are spelled, so a report that says “New South Wales” where the headline says “NSW” is queried here when it should not be. One figure in this headline has a decimal point in it. We match figures digit for digit against the report, and that comparison is not reliable for decimals, so that one was not checked either way rather than reported as missing. How this is checked

Australians along the east coast are reporting many sightings of endangered bogong moths as the insects continue their long migration towards the country’s alpine regions.

Bogong moths, about the size of a bottle cap with a distinctive dark stripe that runs down each wing behind two white spots, used to be abundant. But populations collapsed by up to 99.5% in the two years before 2019.

Zoos Victoria has a citizen science initiative called moth tracker where you can upload sightings and track the migration. Reports currently show the moths travelling from north of Newcastle all the way down the NSW south coast towards the Victorian border. They can be blown towards the coast by westerly winds and can be drawn inside homes by lights, the Australian Museum says.

People are encouraged not to kill the moths to aid population recovery.

“Noted ✍️ add ‘moth plague’ to warnings in future,” NSW SES wrote on social media.

You are reading our version, not theirs. This is The Guardian Australia's report with its verdicts and loaded words taken out. Plain description stays, and so do adjectives that carry a fact, such as "former" or "federal". The reporting, the facts and the quotations are theirs — quotations are never edited — and the indicators beside it measure this version. Hover or tap Adjectives to see every one left in the text.
