This huge *snip* moth just entered my office, crashing through the window.. flying everywhere.. banging its huge wings against my head trying to scare the bejezus out of me and just flying as fast and as erratically as it possible can..

I ran out of the room in terror, and with cold sweat running down my spine. Shut the door close on my way out, only to hear a loud bang and then a loud thump as the ceiling fan cut the abobination in half, and it crashed down into a cardboard box.


Only now i'm trying to figure out why the hell was i so scared.. Can these things even hurt people?

Please mind the language. Spitfire

If you see a couple of tiny women in strange outfits, just GTFO as fast as you can, man.

Leaves only the fresh scent of pine.

It may be the massive amount of alcohol in my system, but this was ****ing funny.

Yes, they are terribly dangerous and you should call the emergency services immediately!

Also; stop drinking.

.....

If it was that big, then it was a record breaker. The largest is roughly a 1 foot wing span in southeast Asia and New Zealand....

Should try eating them. Native Australians eat moths. Nice big fat ones. They usually cook them first I think. BBQ moth! Yummmmmm!

That was only the first of many more to come. As it was flying around, it secreted pheromones to attract more of its kind.

What you need to do is sleep under a mosquito because when they do amass, and they will, they will land on any warm-blooded and suck blood and other fluids with their almost inch long proboscis.

It was a moth, not mosquitoes. I already keep mosquitoes far from me with mosquito coils.

Also, afaik moths only behave this erratically when they are about to die anyway. I just ******* HATE that they always seem to choose spooking the manlihood out of me before they die.

I mean its like its a final goal in their lives or somethin....

Did you know that many moths do not even have mouths!!??

Their only purpose at that stage in their lives is to mate and then they die. No mouth is needed.

Ye gods, no mouth action? No wonder they want to die.

Still, on the bright side, they can't say "not tonight honey, I have a headache from bashing into the black mans ceiling fan".
