Instead of shooting it with your camera, you shoulda shot it with RAID. That's what I do... even houseflies. They die rather horribly... twitch twitch twitch. Might I add... it's cleaner than crushing its guts out.

WHY? :disgust:

It's a moth. It doesen't hurt anything. Just put it back outside.

Uh, cleaner? Spraying pesticides in your area of residence is "cleaner" than squashing it?

How about just putting it back outside where it came from instead of going kamikaze on it's ass?

I don't know what your term on clean, but raid isn't exactly a clean "chemical".

It keeled over and died. But get this.. this is what is creeping me out the most. It flew in last night, and in the back of my mind I always knew that moths were a symbol of death and destruction in many cultures. Today, we got a call, and my roommate's father had passed away last night. The moth's dead too. Maybe I'm just thinking about this too much!!

It's disgusting. It's like a blown-up entomological model of something that should be easily smashable or swattable. I'm afraid if I try to kill this one, I'll be able to hear it scream.

Dude, it's a friggen' moth. Stop being such a pussy and put it back outside
