Whoa..........A moth DarkKrystl? A moth's antennas are just about the coolest things in nature........
How did the spiders enter this thread? Spiders are not bugs, they are arachneaids, not an insect at all. Sorry, just me being pedantic again, seems i have a pedantic thursday or something. It is some sort of sickness anyway. I love spiders by the way, not as much as snakes and lizards but still. Ants, and flies i don't like. But butterflies are so beautiful.....

You always make me "think" which is a good thing. Using the brain at my age! I had to look for the definition of "bug". It really surprised me, as I thought along the lines as you did Kurben . Spider not a bug. Oh well----

Do you think that it is because butterflies are so beautiful that they never have been the bad guys in horror or SF books and movies? (to my knowledge at least) Spiders and ants and other insects often are bad guys but not butterflies. Wonder why?

What do you know. I always thought bug was a synonym for insect (when it comes to animals at least). Obviously i was wrong. You learn something everyday here. Isnt it great? Thanks Spidey!
...that's MOTHra ya galoot!......
Yes, OoO, moths. I like moths. They're like the butterflies' dark cousin that no one talks about. And out in Doyle we used to get diurnal moths the size of hummingbirds; they were really fond of the poppies my mom grew.
Really?I hate you too blunt..
Seriously, people have a phobia about spiders.Yes
...and spiders suffer from human phobia...
It's all SK's fault,from IT,to The Mist,especially when they burst out of the guy webbed to the wall..
