Bogan Moth Mug – Photorealistic Bogong Moth Bogan

$22.00

Every spring they fly into Canberra in their millions. This one brought his mullet. A Bogan Moth mug for anyone who has ever had one at the porch light.

Save for later ♡

The Bogong moth is one of Australia’s great migrants, turning up at porch lights and Parliament House every spring.

We just gave it the personality it always deserved.

A Bogan Moth Mug, Photorealistic and Proud

A real-looking Aussie bloke with stubble, a shaggy mullet and sunglasses pushed up on his forehead has the body of a Bogong moth, with big patterned brown wings and a furry chest under a navy singlet.

Feathery antennae rise from his mullet and a cigarette hangs from his lip. BOGAN MOTH sits underneath in bold navy capitals.

Drawn to the Light

It’s a pun, a nature lesson and a slightly unsettling portrait all at once, which is exactly why it gets noticed.

Perfect for Canberrans, bug lovers and fans of the weird and wonderful.

About this mug

What is a Bogong moth?

A native Australian moth famous for its spring migration, when millions fly through Canberra on their way to the Alps.

A photorealistic half man, half Bogong moth with a mullet, sunglasses, a cigarette and a singlet.

Yes, our bug mugs have plenty more creepy crawlies.

Delivery and care

Do you deliver across Australia?

Yes, to every state and territory by Australia Post, and shipping is free when you order 2 or more items. We only ship within Australia.

How is the design printed, and will it last?

Every mug is hand-printed in Australia using sublimation printing on an 11oz ceramic mug. We like to be upfront: like every sublimation print, the colours will gradually soften with use and washing. It is made for everyday drinking, and a favourite mug that has worn in a little is part of its charm.

How do I look after it?

The sublimation print is dishwasher safe, so you can load it up with the rest of the kitchen. To keep the colours looking fresh for longer, a hand wash with a soft sponge is kinder than a scourer.
