This , help the pollinators on the night shift!

At night, moths are hard at work in our gardens and orchards, pollinating blackberries, apples, and other crop flowers. A recent study found that for some plants, like blackberries and raspberries, moths are better pollinators, bringing more pollen per visit, than daytime visitors like bees!

And while we might not run into them as often as butterflies and bees, moths are also struggling thanks to pesticides and habitat loss.

You can help out moths - and the flowers they pollinate!
🦋Avoid pesticide use in your garden
🌸Plant a diversity of native plants to support pollinators day and night
💡Reduce artificial lighting around your home and garden
🍂Leave a little wild space for moths to shelter and grow
