in the East African country.

Premieres of the 12-minute piece, called Moth x Human and which is played alongside live musicians, will be held at the Southbank Centre and at the Bradford City of Culture 2025.The four-hour recording at Parsonage Down in August detected a variety of different moth species, including elephant hawk, burnished brass, water veneer and ruby tiger moths.

Ms Wilson said the data was put through a computer and she attached sounds to the movement of each species and "pressed play"."It's the ebb and flow of their activity that night," she explained, rather than the literal sound of moths, which are usually very quiet."It's like a chat between moths and humans."

While Ms Wilson, who is a classically trained composer violinist, admitted it was out of her "comfort zone", she said she wanted to explore biodiversity and the idea to use the insect activity came to her at breakfast one morning.Ms Wilson was then commissioned for the project by the Oxford Contemporary Music charity.

"The message I'm trying to get across in the music is a celebration of moths," Ms Wilson told the BBC, adding they are important pollinators but are often "forgotten".

She worked with the UK Centre for Ecology and Hydrology to get the data.In a statement, the Border Guard Bangladesh said it had increased patrolling along the border to curb these attempts.

India has not commented on these allegations.While media reports indicate that the recent crackdown includes Rohingya Muslims living in other states too, the situation is particularly tense and complex in Assam, where issues of citizenship and ethnic identity have long dominated politics.

The state, which shares a nearly 300km-long border with Muslim-majority Bangladesh, has seen waves of migration from the neighbouring country as people moved in search of opportunities or fled religious persecution.This has sparked the anxieties of Assamese people, many of whom fear this is bringing in demographic change and taking away resources from locals.
