Miller moths may linger longer around Denver this migration season

• Wet weather is scattering migration patterns, meaning many miller moths are arriving sooner than expected — and a lot more will be on their way.

What they're saying: The moths are "fragile creatures." And with raindrops roughly a quarter of their size, they have to seek shelter (like your house or garage) to stay safe during storms, Frank Krell, senior curator of entomology at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science, tells us.

• For that reason, the rain is likely to extend their migration (typically between May and June) and lead to fewer of them flying through at one time, Krell predicts.

Be smart: The best way to keep these "guests" out of your house and continuing on their westerly way is to flip off your porch light.

• But should you find them in your space, consider playing this quirky catch-and-release game suggested by the Gazette.
