A moth that keeps flying around
Man im so ****ing scared of these things. especially the big ones, and the really big ones. the one in my room now is about 2 inches long :'( its so disgusting the way it flys and has a icky body >_< everytime it gets near me i throw my laptop on the floor and have to run out of my room with a pillow >_< i must look like such a tit.

aw dont try to kill it... they're harmless and they tickle, and they vibrate when they land on you, expecially the big ones.
2 inches is nothing though. theres one we have around here called the polyphemus. its actually pretty common all over north america. the polyphemus can have a wingspan of over 6 inches. the atlas moth, commonly found in thailand after dusk, can have a wingspan of over a foot... you can hear them before you can see them.
if you have a net, and you're reasonably careful, you can definitely catch it that way. moths can take a bit of punishment. but for god sake dont kill it. the big ones are often the rarest because they're prime targets for birds and bats.

Re: Scared ****less Of
slug toy has a good point. dont kill it. catch it in a net and let it go outside so a bat can eat it.

Re: Scared ****less Of
heh I love watching the bats out of my living room window, catching the moths and skeeters. We often sit out on the deck and watch them swoop in. you can see them about 2-3 feet above your head catching the insects your body attracts... Wish I could tape it for you but I dont have a recorder that can see in low light.

A frinkin moth... Are you for real?
Ill admit that they arent the cutest creature of the insect kingdom but they are harmless. If you going to be afraid of a bug why dont you pick somthing that has the slight probabillity of doing you harm. Like a spider or somthing..
Slug: Man you sure know your bugs... Some moths actually give off cyanide gas. Which we should all know is not a good thing to inhale

Spiders where I live take chunks out of you and jump at you if you mess with them. I pretty much leave them alone since they control the bad insects in my garden and weed out the mosquito population.
