Those moths are absolutely insane! I had one flying erratically around my
carport the other night, there was no way to get even a clue as to which one it
was. It was so large, I first thought it was a bat. Maybe we need to keep a CO2
fire extinguisher handy to flash cool them in flight! Ha!

I've had a few of the large moths smack into me and you know it when
they hit ya. One got stuck in my hair. It was missing some scales when
I got it out!
