suicidal moths

[CrapshoT]

just come back upstairs and its dark apart from me monitor and theres 3 massive moths bouncing of the screen made a few mess
marks on it getting rid of them i goes downstairs gets the glass cleaner only for another moth to be bouncing of my monitor screen and since then ive had another 2 commit !!! decided its easier to close me window than murder all these moths
how distracting

he hee, get it at night with my light on. Normally just leave them to it, as my ceiling light is behind me.

Moths burning themselves on the bulbs saves me getting up. Which, doesnt happen ofton by the time i get a few moths in.

Also, I hate the buggers! Really do, annoying little {CENSORED}!!!

I get it worse than you lot, my back garden is a canal - meaning i get creatures which probably aren't even known about in my room :\

[Bunjiweb]

Canals are home to the spawn of satan in terms of midges and flys.

I feel for u agent..... and im glad that i dont live near a lake or a canal or anything horrible and stagnant like that.

hehe that carnt be nice, moths just piss me off and when you kill them you get annoyin marks which annoy me just as much

[THCi]

Its hard to decide which is worse, the actual moth, or the mark...

We had a moth graveyard once.....

Came back from Holiday after leaving the light in the spare room on for 2 weeks.... there was a small pile of them directly beneath

I had this really irritating problem- FOr some reason, one particular optical mouse stays on even when my powerbook is sleeping. Now this mouse has a transparent base and blue glowy scroll wheel. So the moths fly into the mouse, and hit a button. My powerbook spins up, realises the lid is closed and goes back to sleep. Repeat all night. It makes just enough noise to wake you up, but is silent by the time you wake up! I hate the bloddy things!

turn on +5v standby in the bios and it should turn off the mouse.

I have a round shaped lampshade in my PC room, and the moths just love it. They make a really annoying noise when they bash into it, but sometimes they make it inside the lampshade and it gives me the perfect oppurtunity to Raid em What is annoying is when they land on my monitor and just sit there completely still... WHY!?

[THCi]

They are attracted to light.. they sit still because it aint burning them, as a normal light bulb would.

why are they attracted to the light? Why dont they fly off towards the sun during the day?

[Howard]

It's just the way they are. I have a row of spotlight things in my bedroom ceiling, 4 of them, and every night I say goodnight to my faithful moth friends before turning off the lights

moths always seem to attack me after hitting them away from my screen... and then they go back to hitting the screen..... very annoying little things
