Are you scared of moths?
 
I just had a very scary experience, I was computing innocently in my bedroom and looked up from my screen and suddenly moths started coming in the window one by one, there must have been half a dozen of them, I was so terrified. How would you handle that experience?

Annette Curtain is great at stopping moths coming through an open window.

And yeah I don't like moths at all, the little ones don't bother me too much but the big ones terrify me.

But even worse than them is Jenny long legs, I hate them.

No, I think you and caitlin saw my reaction to a moth in tinychat once actually

Marc 26-05-2013 09:41 PM

Yes, I remember. :joker:

Think you'd be hard-pressed to find anyone who likes moths but I'm not scared of them.

joeysteele 26-05-2013 10:45 PM

I don't like them but not scared of them. Like Vicky, I hate those long legged things.

Marsh. 26-05-2013 11:03 PM

Don't mind moths, disgusting things but I'm not scared of them.

Spiders with huge bodies and long thin legs scare the crap out of me though. Just nearly had a heart attack when it ran across my bedroom floor, managed to destroy it with a can of deodorant though. :laugh:

I'm not scared of moths. I'm not scared of butterflies either.

Withano 26-05-2013 11:29 PM

Why are they even nocturnal if they're attracted to the light? Dumbasses.

Glenn. 26-05-2013 11:32 PM

I'm not scared of them. My sister is petrified. She once woke me at 4am to get one out of her room.

lostalex 26-05-2013 11:33 PM

I like the small ones. The giant land of the lost rain forrest sized ones are freaky though.

Ryan57 27-05-2013 07:07 AM

Wouldn't say scared, but they're an irritation. No where near as scary as wasps or bees.

Yesterday, on the back yard, a flying insect was nearby, (actually think it was a fly :suspect:) unsure of what it was... my life flashed before me. I jumped slightly out the way, sort of like an 8 year old girl ballerina.

Because there are too many light sources to use as a guide for traveling around in the day?

I think it's the moon light that they use as their primary reference point for navigation

Its normal the light of your Screen gets to them.

So next time cover the light or close the laptop
and then they will go back outside.


Its only the light that gets them buzzing

Jesus. 27-05-2013 08:48 AM

I always find a squash racket does the trick, then the cat hoovers them up as a secondary food source.

And there are more predators out during the day.

Lee. 27-05-2013 08:56 AM

I'm **** scared of them! Especially the huge things.

Suze 27-05-2013 08:58 AM

Used to be a bit frightened of them, but more irritated of them now, same goes for butterflies. If I wasn't frightened of wasps or bees, it seemed a bit irrational to be scared of moths, so tried to curb it if I could, I hate them flying round you so damn fast though, a spray or towel usually secures their demise.

Niamh. 27-05-2013 09:22 AM

Yes, they're the second scariest critters after spiders

Why do I feel that there is an altogether darker side to you, that you've purposefully avoided revealing?

Living pests! Luckily I have two cats who can get rid of them!
