    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?

    Sounds like you attacked them. Might want to get your story straight before talking to the cops.

    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.

    I have no idea what you're talking about! :)

    /ps...do I know you? I have initials in my head...

    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?
