Description
Miller moth season has arrived in Colorado.
The insects' year-long migration pattern takes them to the Front Range in May and June between stops on the Eastern Plains and the high country.
Experts at Butterfly Pavilion in Westminster predict Colorado can expect to see plenty of miller moths this season, but the exact number depends on the weather.
"If the weather is supportive of these miller moths then we'll see really good numbers, especially in the spring," said Butterfly Pavilion Chief Operating Officer Mary Ann Colley. "So during the spring, if we have really dry or sometimes wet weather, but not too cold we'll see really ample numbers of miller moths being really successful."
While it may be tempting to swat or kill the miller moths around the house, experts say the moths are important to Colorado's ecosystem.
