I think you’re being very unfair to moths. OK some are dull, but many are strikingly beautiful (check out my posts!). And in the UK only two out of about 2,500 species are clothes pests, most of the rest feed on plants of one kind or another, just like butterflies.

Oh boy! I didn’t know anybody would come to argue for moths! But you know what you are talking about. So, thanks for your input!

There is no debate for me. Biological moths ate all my sweaters; symbolically - very unpleasant in any sense. And butterflies are so beautiful; not for nothing, instead of writing beautiful novels, Vl. Nabokov devoted his life to he butterflies.

The real debate is not about the butterfly or moth, and I am glad you understood that

Wait are you saying this about the insects or as a metaphor also?

So you’re saying even those that are here to suck your blood out are good for us? As they are a part of the ecosystem?

Thank you Sage. I didn’t know it’s actually capable of destroying stuff!
