Moths: So Stupid. Enter the AD-FREE zone

Well they are, aren't they? I had the window open in the kitchen for a bit whilst I was cooking and I found six of the buggers had drowned in the washing up bowl. I mean, don't they realise they can't swim.

Oh and that policy of fly towards the light no matter what...not really the best one is it? I have also had one fly straight into the hob with rather unpleasant results for the aforementioned moth.

Perhaps they need to rethink their life strategy?

I like moths. They're like butterflies, but not so sissy and kitchy way. They have a style. They're extremly beautiful, but their beauty is more subtle than that of butterflies. OK. They kind of die in hundreds due to their stupidity, but it's natural for bugs of any kind.
If You don't stop bashing moths, I'll open Moth Thread

I have read that moths developed a strategy where they used the moon to navigate. By keeping it on one particular side of their body, they were able to use it as a reference. Of course artificial lights messes this up. When they keep such lights on one side, they can't help but zero in.

I see the highly adaptable human as just as stupid really. The fact that we cannot escape our selfish 'jungle survival' mindset, and we are slowly destroying our habitat - that is a even more stupid strategy than that of a virus.

Mothra is a great film. Godzilla vs. Mothra is pretty great, too.

The other day I made some reference to the tiny twin women who's singing can summon Mothra, and nobody knew what the hell I was talking about. Kids today...
