Miller moths are preparing for their westward journey from Colorado's plains to the mountains. Here's why you shouldn't hurt them, even if you're tempted.The insects' yearlong migration pattern takes them westward over Colorado's Front Range, between stops on the eastern plains and the mountains, during late spring.Coloradoans can expect to see plenty of miller moths this season, but the exact number depends on the weather.
Butterfly Pavilion entomologist Francisco Garcia Bulle Bueno said during last year's migration season that miller moths are pollinators, meaning they help assist plants to reproduce. Miller moths avoid daylight and seek shelter before daybreak in, ideally, a daytime shelter that is dark and tight. Small cracks in the doorways of homes, garages and cars make perfect hiding spots for the moths.Bueno said if people are bothered by miller moths, they should turn off porch and outdoor lights early during the evening.
