Insect migration: do migrant moths know where they are heading?

Ring T Cardé1.   

Abstract

Moth migration has been assumed to involve hitching a ride in favorable winds. A new study has shown that silver Y moths migrate only on nights when winds would displace them southward, implying that they detect their direction of movement while airborne, likely by a magnetic sense.
