National Moth Week

National Moth Week starts on the 23rd of July. Celebrated annually around this time, National Moth Week is a global event that highlights the beauty, diversity, and ecological importance of moths. This week-long celebration encourages people of all ages to learn about, observe, and document moths in their local environments.

National Moth Week was established in 2012 to raise awareness about moths and their roles in the ecosystem. Moths are often overshadowed by their daytime counterparts, butterflies, yet they are equally fascinating and vital to our environment. They play critical roles as pollinators, sources of food for other animals, and indicators of environmental health. During this Week, participants can join moth-watching events, contribute to citizen science projects, and share their findings with a global community of enthusiasts. The week is an excellent opportunity for education and engagement, fostering a deeper appreciation for these nocturnal insects.
