New research confirms moths are superior pollinators to bees.

TL;DR Summary
Moths are more efficient pollinators than day-flying insects such as bees, according to new research from the University of Sussex. The study found that while moths made fewer visits to flowers during shorter summer nights, they were able to pollinate them more quickly. The research highlights the importance of protecting both nocturnal and non-nocturnal pollinators, as they are vital for the health of ecosystems. The researchers are calling for the public to protect moths by planting white flowers, growing patches of scrub and rough grass, and turning off night lights.
