Even in relatively mild years like this one, the tiny winged visitors annoy us 鈥� frighten us鈥� and fascinate us. So we asked an insect expert to help us unpack the mysteries of the miller moths.

They often contain critical habitat and food resources, far away from the disturbance of human civilization. But it turns out even those areas are under threat.

The latest research, led by the University of Nevada, found a 1.6% annual reduction in the number of butterflies observed across more than 70 locations in the West over the past four decades. And it suggests warming during fall months in particular is driving the die-off.
