National Moth Week partners with Project Noah annually since 2013 to celebrate the beauty, life cycle and ecological importance of moths. Project Noah’s Moths of the World mission (and our special Moth Week Patch!) showcase moth photo spottings from around the world during National Moth Week.

National Moth Week (NMW) is held, worldwide, during the last full week of July. NMW offers everyone, everywhere a unique opportunity to become a Citizen Scientist and contribute scientific data about moths. Through partnerships with major online biological data depositories, NMW participants can help map moth distribution and provide needed information on other life history aspects around the globe.

The American Institute of Biological Sciences is a nonprofit 501(c)(3) scientific association dedicated to advancing the biological sciences to promote an increased understanding of all life. Our mission is to promote the use of scientific information to inform decision making and advance biology for the benefit of science and society. This mission is more relevant today than at any other point in our history. The pace of change in modern society and the scope of the challenges requiring the insights derived from scientific study demand that AIBS provide the leadership and forum for the community to work collaboratively to advance integration in biology for the benefit of science and society. AIBS's agility, resilience, and integrity are the keys to our success.
