    NATIONAL MOTH WEEK 2020, July 18-26 This is an early reminder that NATIONAL MOTH WEEK 2020 will be July 18-26! This is a worldwide event where everyone is encouraged to get outside to observe and photograph moths! We will be compiling a list of all moths shared on JungleDragon’s website during Moth Week, so please share your photos at https://www.jungledragon.com/<br />
 <br />
The National Moth Week website has ideas on how to attract moths, such as turning on an outside lights and lamps, putting up a sheet that’s illuminated by a light, smearing ferment on trees, etc.: http://nationalmothweek.org/finding-moths-2/<br />
<br />
If anyone has any questions, please comment below! We will be posting another reminder as we get closer to moth week, but in the meantime, mark your calendars and get your lights ready to shine! #JungleDragon #MothWeek2020 #NationalMothWeek<br />

    1. Will hope for good weather, good moths and the ability to identify them, Ferdy! Posted 5 years ago
      1. Fingers crossed! Note that if you struggle to capture them during that week, it's also fine to post some that you did not specifically photograph in that week. Posted 5 years ago
        1. Good, that should help the species count, cheers Posted 5 years ago
