- A study has revealed that moths are essential for pollination in northeast India’s Himalayan environment.
- The study established that 91 species of moths are pollinators of 21 different species of plants in Arunachal Pradesh and Sikkim in the north-eastern Himalayas.
- Erebidae (tiger moths, erebid moths, lichen moths, etc) and Geometridae (geometer moths) were found to be the Himalayan region’s most important families of moths for pollen transportation.
- The results are significant as most pollination research focused on daytime pollinators such as butterflies and bees.
- While the contribution of nocturnal pollinators received less scientific attention.
