>Go downstairs to get a can of Mortein (Insect spray)

>That day I lost a friend

RIP Gareth the Moth

You treat your moth friends like shit

Why couldn't you leave the moth alone or take it outside? It's not like they bite.

Uh, this...

Most moths don't actually do anything bad.

A TINY fraction of moth species produce caterpillars that eat clothes

but odds are that wasn't that kind of moth.

Get therapy and learn to catch or touch moths, overcome your fear, it'll save lives and your insect karma bank balance.
