I don't particularly hate moths. They are the least annoying of the insect species where I live. Really, they don't even register among the likes of mosquitoes, black flies, deer flies, no-see-ums, horse flies, wasps, brown flies(yet another biting fly species), deer ticks, wood ticks, and black ticks. However, mankind has this amazing new invention called a window screen, which keeps these demon tricksters out of our homes.
....Are you my neighbor? Yeah, all of those suck. Horse flies are freaky as shit. They are so loud. Mosquitoes are easy to kill, but they are legion. No-see-ums...there's only one way to "beat" them, and that's to ignore them and hope you some how get acclimated to the itching (they were a big home-field advantage in baseball, though. Visiting teams weren't used to them so you'd always look over in the other dugout and see the other team's players in a desperate struggle to stop the tiny little bugs).spartan231490 said:
Ticks are pretty rare, unless you don't give your dog or cat a treatment. Wasps, yellow jackets, and bees used to target me as a kid, so I hate them. I always enjoy destroying their nests with a pressure washer on full blast. One you missed: Red bugs. I never had a problem with them somehow, despite the fact that I spent countless hours as a kid camping and walking around the big forest behind my house. My best friend growing up would get them every damn time he visited, though.
Dude those are girly moths we have some of these in the south west of England... havn't seen any this year but had one crash i mean proper crashed into my window at home!Hazy992 said:We've got some pretty nice weather here at the moment (for Britain anyway. It hasn't rained in a few days and people are starting to get withdrawal symptoms), so of course the windows are open to get some air in. There's just one problem with this. It is a problem that has plagued mankind for centuries, a problem that can drive a man to the edge of reason; MOTHS!
[sub]You are everything that's wrong in this godless universe[/sub]
I must have had at least ten of the bastards in my room this evening! WHY?! Why won't you leave me alone, you winged hell spawns?! What have I done to deserve such torment?!
[sub]WORSE THAN HITLER[/sub]
I can't be the only one surely? Does anyone else have a deep, burning, almost bordering on psychotic hatred of these cocky little bastards as much as I do? I say we rise up and teach these fuckers once and for all, who's with me?!
[sub]Look at this smug prick. Just wait until I wipe that smirk off your face[/sub]
[sub][sub]Also, who copyrights a moth? A Dale, you just made my list![/sub][/sub]
big bastard thought it was a bird still it finally sat on the window was amazing, and kinda creepy.But i got no beef with moths bitches don't bite *shrugs*
Both of these have a wing span of up to 10cm
Privet Hawk Moth:
Convolvulus Hawk-moth:
You couldn't pay me enough money to make me hold moths like that in my hands. Maybe a huge amount of drugs would allow me to, but good god they just make my skin crawl.Rastien said:
I also hate how erratically moths behave, I wouldn't mind them so much if I could tell when they were flying at me, but they just fly like one of their wings is on 50% thrust and the other on 200% thrust, it's like they're trying to piss you off. They refuse to get the fuck off my monitor/TV at night too, stubborn light hogging bastards.
What's wrong with moths? They're fascinating creatures... Never really bothers me that much unless they're flying all over my bedroom. I'd much rather share a room with a few moths than I would one wasp, centipede, or scorpion or fly - they can't hurt you, although sometimes their hairs will detach and irritate the eyes or skin.
As long as moths don't fly around my face, then I don't mind. But that's a general rule. If a fly, or a bee, or a cupcake, or a ladybird, or anything flies around my face, I try to swat at it. I just don't like the thought of bugs touching my face.
(...or cupcakes.)
[Edit]: For those of you wondering. Yes. I like to eat cupcakes. Just not with my entire face. Cursed flying cupcakes!

Do you people not have screens? I don't find moths annoying at all, even if one or two do get in they leave me alone. Wasps, mosquitos, deer flies and those other flies that are fucking huge and take chunks out of you (also known as horse flies, flies that big terrify me) are way worse. Not to mention gnats are way more annoying because they flock to my monitor in swarms.
It seems like neither the window screen nor the air conditioner ever made it to the UK. You'd think they'd have independently invented at least one of the two by now even if they'd never made contact with people outside of their islands.TehCookie said:Do you people not have screens?

We have net curtains instead.Owyn_Merrilin said:It seems like neither the window screen nor the air conditioner ever made it to the UK.

net curtains < screens
Here in Wales, nice weather is either very hot, or pissing down.
I'm not particularly fond of moths.. they creeep me out

I thought I was the only one!
*ahem* See, no one else around the area has this problem. They don't get invaded by the fuzzy flying... Fungi? Fandangos? Frittatas? I don't actually know any semi-insulting non-swear word that begins with f.
Anyway, I don't hate them, not really. I get irritated when they flock to any given monitor, especially if I'm using my netbook at some ridiculous time of morning whilst in bed. I do not like strange flying beasties in my bed with me.
