About the Montana moth project

Moths comprise a significant part of global biodiversity and serve ubiquitous roles in terrestrial ecosystems as herbivores, pollinators, and prey. The Montana Moth Project seeks to document the diversity, distribution, abundance, and ecology of moths in Montana through scientific research, education, and citizen science.
