National Moth Week

This year marks the 14th time the National Moth Week event is being held. Initially limited to America, it has now become global. In 2026, during the July 18–26 period, moth enthusiasts will join forces and make observations in groups or individually.

The goal of the events is to draw attention to the diversity and importance of moths.
