Moth Observations Database

All the Illustrious Moths

Our observation of moths began in the summer of 2019. The 1st Annual Moth Night was conducted in June of that year and the tradition has continued into the present. In 2022 we started the NC Under-reported County Mothing Project. In 2023 we partnered with other moth enthusiasts from the NC Entomological Society in our neighborhood and started the Hillsborough Moth Crawl.

Moth Search Form

Dear Supplicant, there are multiple ways to search our illustrious Moth Observations. Please select only one field of inquiry as the form cannot perform combined term searches. If you do, an error message will occur and Mothman will be summoned. It will not go according to plan.
