Today marks the first day of International Moth Week, and keeping the pandemic regulations in mind, wildlife book publisher Birdwing, has curated a weeklong series of events — sessions, webinars and workshops that talk about ‘mothing’, rearing, identifying and studying these creatures.

“Because moths fly around at night-time, people aren’t very aware of their existence. People are able to relate to butterflies more than moths because moths are elusive. This works as an awareness program where the whole week you have to keep observing moths and report them. Usually, moths are seen throughout the monsoon season, sometimes even beyond that,” says Dr V Shubhalaxmi, founder of Birdwing. 

Here are two of their workshops to tune into:

All About Moths, hosted by Dr V Shubhalaxmi 
On: Today, 6 pm to 7 pm

Gardening for Moths, hosted by Isaac Kehimkar
