Tell me about breeding moths

Post date: 2021-09-25 15:06:46

So I've learned that moth numbers are declining all over the place and that's affecting lots of animals that depend on them. I live in the countryside with some outdoor space and I would like to breed moths and release them. What type of moth should I breed?

This is partly a symbolic gesture and partly an earnest attempt to try to give the local ecosystem a boost. If it works, I'll try to convince other people to do it too, maybe it can be a thing.

I find a few hobbyist websites where you can order equipment for raising moths, which mostly seem for educational / aesthetic purposes. My biggest question is, how can I determine what species to try to breed? I live in Burgundy in France in a moderately high-altitude, forested area. There are so many types of moth, I don't even know where to start learning about them.

If you want to tell me not to do this, I'd appreciate if you offer a suggestion for something else I could do instead along similar lines. Thank you
