Moths are far from the furry, dusty, scary things we’ve imagined. With over 10,000 species of them in North America alone, they come in all colors and sizes, and they do the important work of pollinating during the night shift. Dr. Richard Fox, the Head of Science at the UK’s Butterfly Conservation, joins us to talk about these incredible insects. I also share some fun activities you can do to get a close-up look at moths in your own yard.
