National Moth Week © David Chapman/Alamy
How come bees and butterflies get all the pollinator credit? Moths may not be as buzzy or flashy, but they get the job done, too. Cue National Moth Week, which starts today. Whether you generally swat at moths with a rolled-up newspaper or drape them in a towel to release outside, there"s a place for you in Moth Week. You can join enthusiastic "moth-ers" around the world to observe and document our flying friends and to help us understand more about them.
