Mister moth

Meet Mister Moth!

Many moths are important pollinators, taking over for the bees and butterflies to pollinate at night. In Mister Moth, readers will be introduced to these colorful nocturnal pollinators through simple, rhyming text and vibrant cut-paper and watercolor illustrations, celebrating the wonder of moths, while conveying early concepts like colors and opposites.

 Learn all about Moths!

  • Lots! Moths outnumber butterflies 9 to 1, there are over 160,000 kinds!

  • Lights! Moths are attracted by light and fire because they think it is the moon.

  • Look! Most moths come out at night, but some are active during the day. You might see one from the sphinx moth family that looks like a hummingbird!

  • Thanks! Moths are helpful. They work hard in the “night shift” pollinating plants that animals and people eat. Many plants need their help to survive, like night-blooming flowers and Yucca.

  • Wow! Moths aren’t dull. They can be many different colors, patterns and sizes. Some are HUGE, with wing spans up to 12 inches!
