Moths display diverse behaviours and ecological adaptations. Their nocturnal nature helps them avoid predators, and they utilize various defence-mechanisms, including camouflage and toxic chemicals. Moths play essential roles as pollinators and food sources for other organisms, making them crucial contributors to the balance of ecosystems.
National Moth Week is a global celebration of these fascinating and diverse insects. Running from July 22nd to 30th, this annual event encourages moth enthusiasts, scientists, and nature lovers of all ages to observe, document, and appreciate moths’ vital role in our ecosystems. By fostering a deeper understanding of moths and their ecological significance, National Moth Week 2023 aims to promote conservation efforts and inspire a sense of wonder for these often overlooked but essential creatures.
