There is a moth in my bathroom. A large moth. The kind of moth that makes you wonder if you could just use the bathroom at the gas station all weekend. The kind of moth that lands on your face and sucks out your eyeballs. The kind of moth that comes with two tiny girls who say, "Please give back the egg ( Read more... )

Do you have houseplants? inapickle July 8 2005, 20:28:11 UTC

Because I was a great friend of moths until this past spring, until one of them got trapped in my apartment overnight and it laid eggs in two of my plants. I didn't know about the eggs until these plants were devoured by millions of tiny green caterpillars.

If you have plants, and if you even like them-- never mind love them-- you will find a way to expel that moth.

I am plant-free. In fact, when we used to live in the same town as my parents and the Boy's parents came to visit us, he borrowed a plant from my mother to keep in our apartment until the visit was over. It managed to survive for a week, but that's about as long as I've owned any plant.

So...

Why did he feel the need to borrow a plant?

So we would seem normal, I guess.

BROOMS. BROOMS ARE YOUR FRIENDS.

(I also have the Mothra song going in my head now. Which will set off the Gamera song. My brain is a flea market =p)

I'm not sure my Swiffer will do the trick!

Hee. Leave it to Hal to be able to write an interesting post about a moth in a bathroom. *shudders* There was a huge ass moth in my room the other night and it wouldn't leave .

My best advice? Get someone else to kill it for you, or get a broom and start whacking things randomly and hope that big "CRASH" you heard wasn't you breaking your medicine cabinet.[...] *not very helpful* Good luck!

I just left it alone and it's now somewhere I can't see it. Out of sight, out of mind. :)

Moths vs. Bats innogen July 8 2005, 21:38:32 UTC

Aren't you happy you never found a bat in your shower, while you were showering? Oh. My. Gawd. I make the Boy kill the big spiders. I only got a bat in the apartment the one time.

Oh my god, I think I would *really* leave if there were a bat.

I thought the fear of moths was unusual, but more and more people I know are telling me that they're afraid of them. I used to catch them and play with them. I'd get it for you if I could reach that far.

That would be a long reach!
