Moth Night

Moth Night is an event where people observe and appreciate moths, similar to birdwatching but focused on nocturnal insects. Participants typically set up lights or bait to attract moths, then identify and photograph the varieties they find. This activity helps scientists and enthusiasts learn about moth diversity, behavior, and ecology, highlighting the importance of these insects in ecosystems. Moth Night promotes awareness of the natural world and encourages conservation efforts by showcasing moths’ roles in pollination and food webs. It’s an engaging way to explore nighttime biodiversity and connect with nature’s lesser-seen creatures.
