i think that moths are the 2nd most evil insect next to spiders (i know spiders aren't technically insects, but you know what i mean). when i was a kid, i used to play with them all the time. catching them and holding them by their wings, etc. i started to get scared of them after my dad told me this urban legend that when a moth's eye touches your eye, you go blind. however, i think the breaking point for me was when i was trying to kill a moth in my room and it started attacking me. moths do that... while most bugs try to run away, moths actually try to attack you - which can be quite scary considering that you have this pre-conceived notion that if it somehow manages to touch your eye you go blind. in any case, this moth would not give up and kept attacking me. i kept trying to swat it away. at one point, it even flew into my boxers (yes, i sleep in boxers sometimes when it's hot). so i grabbed my tennis racquet and started swinging at it and basically had a duel with a freaking moth. it has some pretty good reaction times, but the agility and speed of my racquet handling was too much for that damn moth. i finally managed to kill it but my nerves were definitely shot.
the point is, our huevos are the biggest when we are only little kids.
