HUGE moth!


I just went to the bathroom and was attacked by a HUGE moth - I mean it must have been the size of a bird! I'm not normally scared of insects but this made me scream like a girl which I don't normally do

Re: HUGE moth!


Its still up there I'll go back upstairs and catch it and put it out later on - definately the biggest I have ever seen - because we live next to the woods everything seems to grow bigger

Re: HUGE moth!


Emm. how did it get in? Is there a window there? Large moths, well. all moths, are completely harmless to people, they do not bite or sting!!! I can understand that it disconcerted you...and if the cats ate it, you'd find the wings; perfectly harmless to the cats...just a bit of extra protein in the diet!
