Happy Moth Week!!! 👐

🌔 It's National Moth Week! 🦋✨Did you know that moths and butterflies both belong to the insect order Lepidoptera? While butterflies often get the spotlight, Oklahoma is home to an incredible 2,000+ species of moths, compared to about 170 butterfly species found across the state.

National Moth Week is an annual global celebration that invites people of all ages to discover the fascinating world of moths. You can participate by photographing the moths you find and sharing your observations through platforms like iNaturalist.org. Every observation helps scientists better understand moth diversity and distribution.

🫶 Want to support moths in your own yard? Plant native species with:
🟤 Pale or white flowers
🟤 Sweet evening fragrances
🟤 Deep tubular or trumpet-shaped blooms

Many native plants rely on moths for pollination, especially those that bloom or release their fragrance after dark. By creating moth-friendly habitat, you're also supporting the ecosystems that depend on these often-overlooked nighttime pollinators.

This week, head outside after sunset and see what amazing moths you can discover!
