Has apparently been used to study other insects (monark butterfly). Seems to be a very simple construction a tube only showing the night sky and recording of the flight direction.

Considering they were eaten near the alps where they spend the summer sleeping in caves (aestivate not hibernate!), there must have been some serious respect for that food resource. There apparently are 16000 months per square meter in those caves. Feels like the risk of over fishing is high.
I don't think the Australian aborigines ever overfished anything. From my experience, they managed their resources with superlative efficiency. 10,000 year old fish traps in my old home region are still in operation...

They're also considered a delicacy in that part of the world.
Always wanted to try them myself, but probably going to be more partial to wittchety grubs ..
