I got in one (1) night's moth-ing before the weather turned again, but fingers crossed for tomorrow 💖🦋
Until we're past the gales, here's some super-cute moths from previous years to remind you that:
- moths are beautiful
- they pollinate ur plants at night
- their caterpillars are essential food for baby birds
- they're a crucial part of many ecosystems, with life cycles connected to those of trees and wildflowers, birds, and lots of other invertebrates
The moths in the pics are: small emerald, blood vein, small blood vein, tree lichen beauty, box tree moth, orange swift, scorched wing, riband wave & willow beauty, brimstone moth.
Thank you from the Moth Promotional Board ✨🦋✨

Chinese Moon Moth Fact!!!!!🌸
🌘🌗🌖🌕🌔🌓🌒
🪷Chinese moon moths (and many other moths) have their long tails to deflect the echo location of bats! Bats end up going after the bottom of their wings instead after being misguided, and the Moths have the ability to safely get away!!
🪷Chinese Moon Moths Have 2 different color types, a yellowish coloring and then a blue ish green coloring.
The yellow coloring is the male moth and the other is the female!!
Pretty!!🪷☺️
