And we’re having a bit of a moth plague at the mo.
Happens every couple of years or so.
Lots of grey, furry little bodies, erratically buzzing around the city.
I don’t mind them personally. There are also a lot of flies buzzing around in the warm air right now and those piss me off more.
People at work seem to have been a bit distracted by a few of these little invaders that were able to get inside to office yesterday.
One woman seemed to have a major psychosis going on, cause she spent most of the day gyrating between the cubicles, gazing up at the roof, as she desperately tried to avoid contact with one of the many moths that were knocking themselves senseless against the fluro’s.
At the end of the day, I told her that she should check that the interior of her car was clear, in case one flew out from under a seat when she was driving and caused her to have an accident.
I was kind of joking but she looked at me weirdly and nodded.
She took a leaf of A4 copy paper with her in case a fuzzy body was on the door handle
Bush fire season has started too. A road was closed off to peak hour traffic as a fire blackened the country side. The papers reckon the fires are deliberately lit.
Whole lot of stuff going to go up in flames this year.
She may be phobic of moths and butterflies. I had a friend years ago who suffered from that. Even tiny moths would make him freak out. I once joked that we should celebrate his next birthday at the Butterfly House at the Melbourne Zoo and he looked like he was going to pass out. I'd imagine if you suffer from a moth-phobia then dealing with the yearly Bogong Moth plague would be like an arachnophobe having to deal with a plague of flying huntsmans. *shudder*
ReplyDeleteI've got loads of the manky little moths in my house. I catch them and feed them to the parrot. Yum.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard of a moth invasion, except for humongous ones in horror flicks of course. How interesting, although I think the sound of them haphazardly diving into skylights or whatever might grate. Far better moths than cockroaches.
ReplyDelete'Manky' huh. You've gone native. LOL.
ReplyDeleteWe have allot of parrots over here. I hope their all enjoying the feast.
I agree.
ReplyDeleteIt's a bit weird pulling on my pants in the morning and a big fat moth crawls out the trouser leg.
