This is a moth blog. That’s a thing, right? My name’s Ben Keen, I’m a moth enthusiast living on Bowen Island, BC, Canada. The last few years I got hooked on leps (Lepidoptera: moths & butterflies) and spend a great deal of my time learning about them and travelling around our province in pursuit.

This site is a dumping ground of anything lep-related. Moths are fascinating and if I can pass on even the faintest bit of excitement to others I’ll be happy.

Unless otherwise stated, all pictures and videos are my own. You can find me on iNaturalist, eBird and Instagram. And feel free to reach out to me at ben.keen@gmail.com.
