In my house we have to:


g) Identify it from the Book of Moths.  Then


h) Stand around admiring it.  Then


i)  Leave the windows open permanently until it decides to leave.

Moths give me the willies. I try to get them out the window but would not kill one.

The world's largest moth is the Atlas.  Imagine trying to coax this out of the window.  Completely harmless by the way.  Might lick you to death I suppose.

I wave it out of the window and do my best to avoid killing it in the process.
Who needs karma when you know you're great already?

If you squish them they just leave a chalky mess which you then have to clean up so I just leave them be or hoover them up (if I see them while hoovering)

How can you pour bleach on something that is in the air?
