Attacked by a wierd insect last night

pinkfeather

Hi people, Last night while I was having a cigarette outside the door, the biggest insect came flying into the house. It was attracted by the light and the body was the size of my finger..it actually looked like some kind of moth, but after swimming in some kind of toxic chemical which gave it supermoth hugeness. After killing this, another one flew in and the whole thing started again. Has anyone seen these before and do you know what they are?

It's called a butterfly.

I think they're just giant moths. Best advice, use mothballs. And try and look at the positives. The giant ones are easier to hit.

Large moths are freaky looking... I had one perched on the back of my seat a few years ago... he wasn't moving around much, so I decided to take a really close look... when I saw his hideous little face looking back at me I recoiled in horror... before squashing him with something of course... still though, scared the shít out of me... so evil looking.

Op did you scream your head off? I would:eek:. I hate moths the creepy little furry bast*rds. Maybe they were creepy little Mothmen, harbringers of doom:(.I think we are getting more strangely evolving insects in this country. The year before last when we had the 40 consecutive days flooding, our garden was flooded for the whole summer. You'd want to see the things swimming in it.. l think they were leeches or something. They were little black things that got longer and shorter as they swam-shudder!!!!!! Do slugs do that? Maybe they were slugs.

When we were in Florida the year before last, I was lying on the bed in the hotel room propped up on the pillow reading. I became aware of something flickering at the corner of my eye....I thought it was a lock of my hair blowing 'cos the air conditioner was on....so I put my hair behind my ears and carried on reading...the movement continued..I stopped breathing and turned my head around slowly...there was a big ass mother fcuking cockroach about 7'' long including the feelers...standing on the locker. It was balancing on my sunglasses, in an upright position, on its' back legs, waving it's feelers about - ugh!! Next thing I remember I was standing with my back against the door. I'd left the bed and flew through the air without being aware of it. My oh and sons didn't know what was wrong with me. I was frozen in terror. It was a monster:eek:!!!!!!!!!

I woke up once with a huge moth on my bare chest, his beady little red eyes glinting in the light from the lightpost outside the window.

Chuck Norris would envy the leap I made out of the bed.

Welcome to the world of moth.

They are indigenous in this country.

I suggest getting 40 watt bulbs...

What's the deal with people getting overly excited by moderately large insects on boards?

Did you lot not play in gardens as kids or were you too attached to your consoles?

See, here's the problem.
You were smoking outside.
Why were you smoking outside?
Is there one of those anti-smoking nazis in your house? Smoke the ****er out if there is.

Calling someone a hun is personal abuse.
I'll forgive you if you were using text speak, but, no, I can't do it. Text speak is unforgivable. It's worse than Hitler killing the famine victims.

Moths are harmless. Just like butterflies.

Bats are cool.

I taught they were called May bugs?
and in the US they call them June bugs?

kumate_champ07

how about catching it and letting it free outside? why kill something that cant harm you?

RonMexico

The only May/June bugs I know of are canvassers.

couple of true stories...

When i was a kid 11 or 12 ( a long time ago) myself and some friends where playing football, one of the lads was bitten on the leg by a weird fly, it left a hugh hole / bump on his skin, within minutes his skin was covered with a talc like substance (all over) and he was really cold to touch. We were all messing, saying he had a rare reaction and was possibly going to die and stuff. He ran home crying....anyway we did'nt see him for a couple of days and went to knock for him, his older brother answered the door and said "did you not hear, D is dead, died in hospital yesterday, me ma's in bits" we could'nt believe it, both R and me went into shock I think I started crying. We left the door and where walking over to the playing field when we met Mrs D coming back from the shops with bags of messages in each hand. We told her we were very sorry about D and could'nt believe he'd got bitten and had that mad reaction. She told us we were really good friends for caing so much and we should come back to the house for some tea (ah I miss the 80's) so we followed her home in a somber mood. As we sat in the kitchen eating beans on toast and remembering the good oul times we'd shared with D, Mrs D calls up the stairs for D to come down for his, WTF, D's older brother was just taking the piss. Gullable 11 year olds ftw.

wow, its nearly 2'oc next installment tomorrow.
