I have strictly forbidden violence against moths when I'm around. I fucking love them. I'm pretty cool with insects (fuck mosquitoes though) but moths especially are not to be fucked with.

even miller moths?

 

[ponpo]

"Hello ponpo!"

Hng. Would pet.

[xenist]

even miller moths?

Absolutely.

Thanks for enlightening me about how cute moths are, Ponpo.

I don't understand why so many people dislike moths. They can be really cute, and remind me of butterflies.

Because these fancy cosplay moths do not reflect reality. This thread is nothing but thinly-veiled propaganda by a known moth-sympathiser.

Butterflies are beautiful, graceful creatures, who go about their business peacefully and without causing trouble.

Moths are dirty, evil creatures that are always drunk and would happily steal your wallet. They are jealous of butterflies and wracked with self-loathing. They respect no one. At the first sign of a light being on they will invade your home purely to harass you.

There is no helping a moth, they will resist any attempt to do so because they think annoying you is "funny". If they could, they'd upload it to YouTube to laugh at you.

Moths are the chavs of the insect world.

 

[Poodlestrike]

Not possible. This was probably one of those hair flicking spiders, you liar. The moth was probably trying to protect you by attacking the spider.



Yeah I think it's actually a model of a China Silkworm Moth. Or a Poodle Moth.

I now have a favorite moth.

 

[OverBlood 3]

Aww these moths are so cute please post more.

 

[CSJ]

Okay I think I found a phobia worse than my one of spiders.
I mean some look cute, but some look like they're spiders with wings.

I remember seeing mothra on holiday once was I was very young, I just couldn't believe moths could get so big - wasn't scared then.

Subscribing for the dawwww

 

[Insane Metal]

Found this (somewhat) big guy (it's actually a female) as I got home from work yesterday. It was laying eggs all over... haha

 

[petran79]

We call them also night butterflies.
There is also another relative, something between moths and butterflies. It swings its wings very fast like a colibri and feeds from nectar. It is quite common, though hard to catch as its very fast

 

[disappeared]

Moths are some of the softest creatures on the planet.

Y'all need to accept that.

 

[archangelmorph]

Looks like a flying Mogwai...

 

[QualityPixel]

Not a real moth. It's a felt toy/model.

 

[How About No]

God they're like little bunnies that get everywhere and eat my fucking clothes I love them so much

Friend shared this video of noisy moth few days ago:

Fun fact: In Indonesia moths are called kupu-kupu malam, which means night butterfly and which is also an euphemism for prostitute.

 

[finalflame]

Ok, I'm almost on board with this moth thing. I just have one question:

Is there any possible way a moth could ever hurt me?

If the answer is no, consider me a new member of your weird fetish club, OP.

They're also called night butterflies in Estonian.

 

[Ashes]

Those don't look like the moths from our areas

 

[Killer Queen]

I approve of this thread

Fuck moths. Actually fuck all insects, even those that help sustain ecology.

 

[Unbounded]

So the entire life of a moth is one giant fuck-fest?

What's so bad about that?

 

[1upsuper]

Moths are dope. Good thread.

But.. why? Insects are cute and nutritious. Best of both worlds.

No, actually moths are called "ngengat" in Indonesia

Ngengat is the most common word but kupu2 malam is correct.

Wow, had no idea about the 'no mouth' moths.

How do they get energy?

 

[Oyashrio-Sama]

They also make great Defenders of Earth.

They don't, they eat as much as they can as caterpillars and save it all up for when they become moths.

In case you are curious this is an Imperial moth (Eacles imperialis).

(Yes I am a mot fanatic....there is quite a diversity of moth around and not all of them are as drab as one may assume).

 

[Messofanego]

Moths > Butterflies

 

[outunderthestars]

Moths > Butterflies

Damn right.

 

[sixteen-bit]

I legit wanna paint some of these

 

[GeoGonzo]

I went into the spiders thread trying to keep an open mind but left unconvinced.

This thread on the other hand did deliver. Those are some cute moths.

 

[Winterblink]

LOL @ op rules.

Moths are awesome, always thought they were cool as a kid.
