MOTHS


The little fat guy came to mind yesterday (no, not Richard - Buddha).

We have pantry moths (spelled with an 'r' Richard) that get into everything. We keep all food items in storage jars but they still manage to inveigle their way in. Someone suggested using moth tents to catch them. Moth tents capture them as they are flying and I suppose they just die while trapped. I don't like the thought of this though as it seems cruel. If we are going to eradicate them I think we'd best leave it to nature and get a Venus fly trap plant.

Yes, a venus fly trap doesn't sound cruel! What are you thinking?

I didn't mean it was less cruel just that it would be more natural and the poor old VFT would at least get something out of it.

To a moth a VFT is a hideous monster. Comeinyourpants, do you have no heart at all?

by the way, word verification said nothing relevant.
