I worked at a nature reserve in the Appalachians for a couple of years, and the only times I ever saw them were when they came up to the porch lights on my cabin. I never went out at night to look for them, but it was pretty far back in the woods in a little valley and bears went through my trash a little too often for me to want to go out after dark.

No idea what trees they were on there. We didn't have any birches. Lots of hickory and beech, and tulip trees, with hemlock in the ravines on the ridge.

Here's one that landed on the front window one night.

that's cool. I guess I'm just gonna go out and try my luck at spotting some.
I'm in south western ontario, so there's a lot of old-growth forests around here that would be perfect habitat for them.

I also heard that these moths don't have mouths and just breed and then die from hunger.
RIP buggos :(

Growing up in east Texas I used to see them frequently on our outhouse at night, near the porch light like the other poster stated

Are moths good for pollonating the flowers?
I found this little bugger resting on my pepper plant and I would like to know if he's hurtful or not.

It has a red dot on its back

I love moths. How/where do I learn more about moths?

I've always wondered what those areas mean, the areas of scraped off scales


Also moth lover reporting in. They're my favorite animals
