Mothing or moth-watching is a form of wildlife observation where moths are observed, both for recreation and for citizen science activities. [1] [2] [3] It is analogous to birdwatching, but for moths. [2]
Many bird observatories also run moth traps. [4]
Mothing is frequently done with the aid of attractants, such as sugary solutions painted in tree trunks or using light. [1] [5] There are also moth traps, which are designed specifically for mothing, with do-it-yourself and commercial versions. [1]
