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.

[Smithy]

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

[Marc]

I am. I have to admit

Yes, I remember.

[Redway]

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

[joeysteele]

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

[Marsh.]

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.

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

[Withano]

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

[Glenn.]

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

[lostalex]

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

[Ryan57]

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 ) 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

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.]

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

[Suze]

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.]

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?

[Harry!]

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