moths not terrified

[tali122]

why do moths appear to be the only creatures not terrified of people?- touch one and it rarely moves- in sharp contrast to other s like ants , spiders , flies , butterflies

Yeah, except for the flying ant happily scuttling up my t-shirt towards my face this morning - yikes!

the chinese believe that moths are the souls of dead people. maybe thats why.

because they are the tools of the devil, lol I'm not a fan of moths can you tell?

[dmsjps]

mycatis, my poor mum was terrified of moths too. We used to dread them coming into the room and if they did we'd try to get rid of them before she saw them or all hell would break loose: she would scream and run all over the place in blind panic. I still can't believe anyone could get so spooked by a washed-out butterfly thingie.
