Comment on nighttime pollinator gang rise up

They creeped me out as a kid. It didn’t help that I had this concept that they were like “evil” butterflies. Child brain hardcore taking my grandmother’s complaining about moths eating clothes and being a nuisance too far.
Absolutely adore them, now. Go ahead and enjoy some lamp, little friend, you’ve earned it.

Its worth knowing that lamps are bad for moths, they think nighttime light sources are the moon which they use for navigation, and so they get confused and lost
If you wanna help moths, combatting light pollution so they can enjoy the moon is the best thing we can do for them :)

Just be sure to do the combatting during the day, so the fires don’t distract the moths at night.
