Mark your calendar now for the first National Moth Week, July 23-29, 2012.

National Moth Week is a celebration of moths and biodiversity. With more than 10,000 species in North America alone, moths offer endless options for study, education, photography and fun. Moths are found everywhere from urban and suburban areas to wild and remote places. The diversity of moths is simply astounding. During National Moth Week attend a Moth Night event, start one, get some friends and neighbors together and check the porch lights, set up a light or bait, or simply educate yourself and read literature about moths. Visit www.nationalmothweek.org to register a moth night or to learn more about activities associated with this event.

Please consider taking photographs and sharing your data with BAMONA. Go to the Get Involved page to learn how to submit your sightings to us.
