Purpose and use of the site

The site is a free, informational utility that helps you identify moths you may find at your porch light or in your garden by selecting wing pattern, size, color, and region. It also provides general information about whether a species is beneficial, neutral, or a pest, and what its caterpillar looks like.

The site is provided for informational and convenience purposes only. It is not a substitute for professional entomological, agricultural, or pest-control advice.

No professional advice

The content on this site is general in nature and may not reflect the most current scientific or local information. You should not rely on the site as the sole basis for decisions about pest control, plant protection, or wildlife management. Always verify important information with qualified professionals or authoritative local sources.

Verification of outputs

Identification suggestions and species information are generated based on the inputs you provide and the data available on the site. Results may be incomplete, approximate, or subject to revision. You are responsible for independently verifying any identification or information before taking action based on it.
