    Bee-eaters are gay, and everyone who likes them is gay.

    I just don't like moths. Little bastards have no respect for my personal space. Everything else is fine.

    Yeah I hate moths. Everyone else I can deal with, especially spiders. Makes me feel like such a man when I throw out one of those bad boys.

    I like moths. They can get in my personal space whenever they want.

    I don't hate moths. I'm perplexed by them. They are a night time creature that is attracted to the light. I mean, what is going on there..? Science has no idea. They have a theory or two but that's about it. Very odd.

    Oh I REALLY hate moths, I can't be in the same room as one. If my light is on, my windows are closed, simple as that. Spiders are nearly as bad though. Just, all **** like that. I turn into such a girl.

    The one that makes the most sense (to me at least) is that they use the light of the moon to fly in a straight line. If it remains stationary from their perspective, that means they're flying straight. But they get confused by our unnatural lights. That explains why they'll fly straight into a lightbulb, as it's the only direction they can fly where the light doesn't move.

    I grab my cat and use her as a hoover. Only with moths though; spiders keep the flies away.

    That's true actually, I don't feel like I've had any encounters with any Moths for far too long.

    Hate Daddy-long-legs....basically spiders that can fly and always glide towards your face. And if you hit them they leave horrible legs everywhere....:sad:

    My dad always used to say you should never get rid of a spider, as they keep all the other bugs away. I'm more intrigued by insects than scared, but my brother goes around catching wasps/bees, gets stung all the time but never complains, bit weird.

    No idea if its true, but I was told as kid that daddy-long-legs had a really poisonous...poison. They just had no way of using it!?!

    I have also managed to survive 23 years without a bee/wasp or hornet sting. Score!

    Am terrified of wasps, but (touch wood) have managed 62 years without being stung.

    WHAT. How is it fair that, in my 23 years of life, I've been stung too many times to remember them all?
