    alot of moths are travelling up from north africa due to the rise in temperature(i know,its a sh!t summer but still quite humid) So i wouldnt be surprised if it was from africa. Read someone else that a sub species of the black widow is being found in houses in the UK after migrating from africa

    Well, with the macro photography it looks even biggerer!

    Now we know what ate all the pies...

    I get tons in my bedroom when leaving the window open, some of them quite big (big enough to make a big "smack" sound when they're throwing themselves against the walls). They don't really bother me, just catch em in me hands and chuck out the window!

    We had one of them in the office yesterday. 3 of us picked up whatever we could to try and "remove it", but ended up making a big mess whilst trying to whack it. Eventually opened a window and stood by it and managed to hit it for six out of the window, where it withered, dipped, and then flew on in twists n turns. They can take a smack quite well

    edit : Bloody good capture tho!!!!!.

    I HATE FLIES!
