Moths

cockchafer

Speaking of moths, I never saw one ALL last year.

Usually I get lots flying into the house/around security lights. Also, usually see quite a few bats in local park etc but I saw none during the whole year.

I think the lack of moths caused the lack of bats.

^^^ Shameless plug for my singer friend Fiona Bevan. Go see her, she's good.

Also, did you know Murtle is a werewolf?

Man, I thought this was gonna be a whine thread about all the moths that are in people's apartments. I was excited not to have any cockroaches in London but find out that moths are nearly just as bad! Goddammit, one was drowned in oil on the business end of my cast iron skillet!

There is already a resident forum moth called Tom.

Beat me to it =P

jayloo, moths are a west London thing. No moths east or north. That is why Will is going to be one.

I am trying to imagine the business end of a cast iron skillet. I am not sure Will would like that.

How's sewing?

Mouse paper wrapped around a standard reading lamp

these bad boys dont fly about in the day you know, strickly night time flyers that need treating right unlike your dumb ass 'fish' that eat anything if its put in front of them, be honest, fat geysers holding pics of 5 kilos carps on every carp mag on da highstreet aint got no skillz

5 kilos? that is weak bredren - I'm talking 'nuff 30 pounder kippers bruv

All you caught was a tiny moth - it had caught a saddle many times its own size - the moth wins.

this years best so far, Eyed Hawk, yeah

Nice. I just have Tineola bisselliella here.
Too many tweed suits.

One hell of a thread resurrection!

I would've posted it in the insects thread but of course there's already a moths thread.

Fuck it, x-post time.

Discovered this beauty today, on my back window.
