I like moths but double fuck bagworm larvae. Nothing creepier than seeing a nearly dead tree wiggle on a day with no wind.
Enough of these cosplay moths, this is reality:
Arms open waiting for a hug. What a cutie.

I absolutely love moths. I often have some in my house. Sometimes they land on me and we watch TV together.
moths > butterflies

Agreed. I find the greys and neutrals of most moths far prettier than most butterflies' color schemes. Plus, they're fuzzy!
How cute. What TV shows do moths like?
We used to get a ton at my old work place. One time one flew in the break room and I had a blue flashlight (for whatever reason). It was on the table and every time I clicked the light on it would 'creak' it's head in the direction of the light without moving its body. Then I'd flick it off an it would go back to normal. So by flickering the light I could get it to dance.

Why, oh why did I click and go through this thread?
Moths are scary hideous creatures.

Hummingbird moths (I think they are also called phoenix moths) are amazing.
I first saw one about seven years ago during a lunch break at work. It was out in the Osakan sprawl on the lone piece of nature in the area. I watched it hover around a flower for like five minutes and couldn't figure out how the hell a hummingbird was getting by in such an urban area. It wasn't until I did a bit of research that I figured out it was a moth and not a bird. The way it is shaped makes it look completely like a hummingbird.
I found out that they are pretty plentiful here in Japan, I actually see them pretty often on some bushes right outside of my apartment block.
EDIT: Actually they are known as hawk moths, sphinx moths or hornworms.
Yay a moth appreciation thread! 
They are adorable if you stop and look at them. Butterflies are pretty ugly up-close with their long sucky mouth-things.
If I see moths in the house (especially big ones) I will try and grab them (with as little dust damage as possible) and put them outside
One day, I will solve the mystery of noctunal bugs like moths, and how they are drawn to bright lights.

Don't worry, it will kill itself with fire.

I never realized how adorable moths are, is it really true that some of them have no mouths?

So... um.... uh....
What's the difference between a moth and a butterfly?
Or underdeveloped mouths. They literally can't consume nutrients. As an adult, the male will fly around, hump on a couple hot chick moths, and die of exhaustion. The female will attract some studly moth, get it on, and spend the rest of her life laying eggs. They live long enough to birth another generation, then die.
Kinda sad.
That last one isn't a moth it's a moonlight butterfly.

so is there an official MothGAF now?
Used to keep these guys as pets. Birds and other elements usually get to caterpillars fast, so you'd rarely see the beautiful moths flying around. They're really fascinating and the slow moving caterpillars especially were interesting to study. They're the only creepy crawlies i can stand to be around.
what's sad about banging a few hot moths and dying? sounds like a fulfilled life.

They don't seem too picky. Seriously, I just love how no matter how much I move around the moths are just like, "That's cool. I'm just gonna chill on your shirt till I get bored or a brighter light comes along."

"Hello ponpo!"
Even the caterpillars are cute
Omg it's wearing a jacket!!
I raised some moth crysalis once as a kid. It was weird I found two on the ground (is that normal for them to be there?) They were about an inch long each and honestly looked exactly like the Pokemon Kakuna. I put them in an old broken fish tank I had and waited...
...
The hatched into those larger, inch long moths and were powder white!^^ I have seen those fuzzy white caterpillers before (and let's be honest that fuzzy caterpillers are adorable) and I guess that's what thry become! I set those guys free and said "bye-bye!"
