Bug lovers celebrate National Moth Week by posting photos of the colorful, fuzzy creatures

If you didn't already know (because how could you not?), July 22-July 30 is National Moth Week.

According to the week's official Twitter page, National Moth Week is "a worldwide citizen science project celebrating the beauty & biodiversity of moths."

If you've always thought that moths were more annoying than beautiful, think again. Users have been posting photos of the flying beauties in celebration under the hashtag #NationalMothWeek, and they are a long way away from the fluttering gray pests that hang out by your campfire. These moths look more like fuzzy butterflies than anything else.

Not only is National Moth Week beautiful, but it's educational, too. Take some time during the week to learn about these whimsical, winged creatures.

Moths can be fuzzy and flannel. Who knew!
