The next The Moth and Me will be hosted by Ted at Beetles in the Bush – send him your posts by May 13th for inclusion in the next edition!

And don’t forget to join in on May 15th for National Moth Night. If you’re in the UK, submit your results to the official National Moth Night database. And though the rest of us can’t submit our results, we can still go out and see what we get! Perhaps invite a few friends over, or spend time with the kids – marvel over the incredible diversity (May is a great time for moths) but most of all, have fun!
