    Moths

    I HATE moths with a passion.

    Tonight I have been chased around the room by not one but TWO great big whacking HUGE specimens.

    Easily the size of my head.

    Gah!

    You know, they're probably more scared of you than you are of them. . . . or at least, they should be!!

    Talking about aiming, I got shat on by a pidgeon a couple of days ago!

    I understand your hatred man. But i have a new plan.

    Cover your light bulb with something sticky - like jam or glue.............then when the little smeggers fliy at the bulb they get stuck to it. Then, its time to bring the pain!

    Moths are wicked.

    They just flutter around my lights till I turn them off and go to bed... Then they're nowhere to be found

    you should try living where I am, i got 2 hornets the other night.yup, thats hornets - 4/5 times bigger than a wasp and noisey as hell. slightly scarey too as they fly quite fast, hit things and careen across the room blindly - it was difficult enough to avoid them when they displayed very little steering skills! but then I caught them in a jam jar together and all was ok but there's a nest somewhere, i'm just waiting to stumble onto it!

    Well these moths were just back from carrying sheep off I think,

    I once blundered into a hornets nest in france, the stings are SOOO much worse than a wasp sting.

    I have the biggest phobia of moths, a re-occuring dream i used to have was a huge life size one trying to eat me. *hides in corner, rocking*


    ...cant sleep...moth will eat me...
    There's a thin person in every fat person.....that's because they just ate them.

    we used to use the jam technique at scouts with the gas lamps, and once the moths got stuck to em, we'd see how long it took to burn em up. cruel, but what else you gona do when you are 13 and sleeping in a field for a week!? hehehe
