Miller moth migration hits Colorado’s Front Range — but they’re not a nuisance, ecologists say

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:23:05 GMT

Once reviled widely as a nuisance, the millions of miller moths migrating through cities along Colorado’s Front Range this week increasingly are seen as an ecological necessity.These native moths matter more than ever, entomologists say, because other pollinators, such as bees, are decreasing — which imperils native vegetation and potentially billions of dollars worth of agricultural food crops.The miller moths (Euxoa auxiliaris) come from Army cutworms, which turn into adult moths on the Eastern Plains before swarming into metro Denver and other urban areas. If not distracted by household and commercial light, each moth typically flies up to 100 miles, moving on into mountain foothills before July.They’re crucial food for birds, arriving just as newly-hatched chicks need protein. They become a major food source for bears foraging after emerging, hungry, from hibernation. And fuzzy moth bodies pick up and carry pollen from one flower to another, helping native plan...

Hollywood homeless encampment endangers students, parents say

Published Sat, 22 Feb 2025 14:23:05 GMT

An encampment of homeless people that sits adjacent to a pair of schools in Hollywood has parents and city officials concerned for the students' safety.Perhaps the most problematic aspect of the encampment is that it blocks the sidewalk, forcing students from Selma Avenue Elementary School and Larchmont Charter School to walk in the street on their way to and from school.Footage from the scene shows multiple tents and multiple people, possibly students, stepping into the street to get around the encampment.In that same stretch of Selma Avenue, lines of cars wait to drop off and pick up children, forcing children to dodge traffic.School officials told KTLA they've called police multiple times about the encampment, including this week. The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed that an arrest was made Monday after an altercation at the camp."Since March, we've had nine homeless-related incidents in the area, within about 500 foot radius of the school," said Capt.
