Idk. We did that but collection thing in cub scouts and I found this dead deaths head moth. Put it in the jar with the alcohol just to be safe, then added it to the collection.
So the next morning I go to check on my dead bugs. Turns out the damn thing wasn’t dead, it was asleep in the middle of its molt. Damn thing leapt out of its own skin at 8 year old me. And that fucker, have you seen deaths head moths? They are not small.
Soooo I might be the teensiest bit afraid of nonmeme moths. My heart is racing just typing it at y’all. That kind of thing stays with you. But I hope they are afraid of me too I screamed so pathetically
Probably it was scared too. I hope you can overcome your fear as moths are harmless, maybe they scare a bit, but still harmless (and facinating but i like insects so its biased). I defeated like 2 fears (spiders & fear of human touch) and may should fight against fear of “balls/things thrown that every single time landed in my face” but that one is harder because of desinterest and that its not an irrational fear. So i very much understand if you keep it because i very much do the same
Normally at least its worth it to fight the fear as long as there is intrinsic motivation (its the easy mode)
Pridemoth, aka butterfly

Oh little moths are fine. MOTHS are terrifying.
