Who knows what evil lurks in the hearts of moths? We know.

It’s that time of year, when the miller moths complete their annual migration from the plains to the mountains, wreaking havoc on Coloradans along the way. This year, we caught it all on mic … except, not really. Enjoy this dramatic audio presentation from the City Cast Denver crew, which is a loose adaptation of Orson Welles’s War of the Worlds.

For moth removal tips, check out this article. To learn more about the miller moths in particular, this CSU fact sheet should answer all your questions.
