Actually, I get freaked out when moths fly towards me. Does someone else have this?
I remember as a kid, that i remember them being dusty, like having some dusty stuff come off its wings, and I thought it was kinda gross. And they are ugly to me for some reason. anyway, even thought I hate mosquitos more, cos they bite people, I'm only scared of moths. And ant nests.
I screamed as a moth flew around in my house cos i didnt want it in my room :P

I expect the moths are pretty freaked out too!! haha
Just imagine a hand the size of a house swatting you!!
The 'dust' you see are their scales on their wings and if you look at them really close they are amazingly beautiful.
Tough life being a moth.

I don't think i've actually swatted any moths before :D. I guess as a kid i used some toilet paper to pick it up and take it out of the house. aFter the first one tho, i didn't want to kill it anymore, because all that dusty stuff off its wing, i get freaked out by that :D. Maybe im scared of flying dusty things? I don't know. But I guess i haven't been fond of catching moths ever since. I let them fly out. It's just if they are flying towards me, I scream :O!

Oh yeah, i meant the dusty stuff that falls off their wings. I guess that's their scales? I mean i freak out over that stuff :D! It's similar to swatting a mosquito and seeing blood come out of it :S. but with mosquitos, i just get annoyed at them, because its like 'hey, that's my blood! You stole it'

Too funny, I have never heard of anyone being afraid of moths before. I myself would catch them with my bare hand and throw them out of the house. Sometimes I will swat them with the flyswat or a newspaper if I'm not able to catch them or shew them out the door.
My brother's friends used to eat them when we were growing up. They just did it as a stunt to impress the older girls I think. Although, I don't think they were very impressed. :)
