You treat your moth friends like shit
Why couldn't you leave the moth alone or take it outside? It's not like they bite.

Uh, this...
Most moths don't actually do anything bad.
A TINY fraction of moth species produce caterpillars that eat clothes
but odds are that wasn't that kind of moth.

This is like /an/ in a nutshell tho.
>I love this creature so I killed it cuz idk what to do with it in my presence
Get therapy and learn to catch or touch moths, overcome your fear, it'll save lives and your insect karma bank balance.
