There are a lot of analog horror works that try to make moths scary and ... I just don't get it. Moths are such silly little floofs. Total disasters. Just fuzzy ones. How can that be scary?Oh there's a skull on the fuzzy wuzzy little moth? It's like a teddy bear trying to be in a biker gang.Oh the moths are huge? Huggable at last!Creatures with no intimidation factor. Only spooky trait is liking The Nitetime but that's because they are shy :(

@futurebird The only thing scary about moths is that some lead to caterpillars that eat my garden.

@futurebird It's because they're big and loud.Same thing with bats.They can't really do much damage, even if they had the will to try.Usually they just want to escape the screaming mammal.Those swinging front legs can easily kill, after all.

@futurebird this reminds me of a manga titled "the big bees" which is about 4 kg bees eating cake and playing video games in Japan

@atthenius @xris They like unmowed grassy areas near train tracks for some reason.

@futurebird had an unexpected moth in the house the other day and it was scary because A. I didn't know what it was eating or laying eggs on. B. The motion was very sudden and erratic. C. It very quickly disappeared, and in horror movies, what they don't show you is always scarier than what they show you... or something

@futurebird Reading A Girl of the Limberlost as a kid convinced me not to be afraid of moths (the main character collects large moths and teaches people about them)

@futurebird when I was a kid there were these scary stories about giant moths attacking children. Moths need better PR.

@futurebird It baffles me why people love "butterflies" but hate "moths". What's the difference? Ok,I try to get rid of the ones wanting to lay eggs in my flour or eat my carpet, but else?

@futurebird Recently I showed photos of silk moths to children: https://alkena.de/images/bioseide-produktion/gross/Seidenfalter.jpgThey spontaneously asked if they could be made into giant plush animals.

I just found out that "death's head" moths make little squeaking sounds to try to intimidate predators. I rest my case. Not even the official most scary moth of them all can be even a little scary. "wah wah wah" will never be scary. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fWcoMstzxcc
