Every night, I turn on the bug lights outside and stare at it for a few seconds because I find the sound of zapped bugs relaxing.

Last night, I noticed something wierd. The bug light is made of two cages. One outside that has no current running through it and one inside that will bbq a bug when touched.
Staring at the cage, I noticed a moth gliding down the cage inside. At first I thought it was dead and just slowing sliding down the cage. Upon closer inspection, the damn moth was still alive and moving and was somehow gliding downwards. After it reached the bottom, it got out and flew away. Now how on earth did that happen? The bug light still kills bug fine, but how did that one get away?

Maybe I should have ran out there and killed that moth myself. Who knows, from that moth may spawn a whole new race of super moths soon to displace us.

It may well be that you have to touch both cages, how close together are they? If the bug was only on the one cage it would be like a bird sitting on a high voltage line, no problem unless it becomes grounded. The outer cage is ground, you can touch it no problem. The inner cage is at a high voltage, when a bug connects it to the outer cage it is zapped.

Superstitious people believe that your dead relatives sometimes come back in a form of a moth. I think this is Filipino belief. Not totally sure.

Moths can evolve all they want, but they will never be a match for my heel. :D

Once, I went to a barbecue and my dad was supposed to bring the hamburger meat but he forgot to go to the grocery store before we got there. When we got to the picnic he remembered that he was supposed to bring the hamburger meat so he got in our car and drove to the grocery store and got the meat. He used a $20 bill and they gave him his change.

After he got back to the barbecue, they were already cooking and he said look what I got. It was the hamburger meat. I ate so many hamburgers that day that I was full. I hope I helped you SuperCyrix.
