As an original participant in the first National Moth Week of 2012, we are looking forward to the 2018 season!
Register for the July 2018 event here!
Moths are plentiful here in our part of Maine, and if you appreciate them, you'll be glad to know that starting in 2012 there is now a National Moth Week! Coincidentally, we're having a lot of moth action here, and not a night goes by that we don't get some neat photos. Even on the rainy nights, the moths are out. If you've ever taken the time to look at them more closely, you'll see that there are great variations even within the same species. Markings will be slightly different, so no two moths are the same.
