moth traps? there are people on this planet who set moth traps? you mean a device intended to harm a creature that weighs 1g and could not harm you if it and ten thousand of its buddies dedicated their lives to it? the same creature that i am delighted to see every time i encounter one because it's cute and completely harmless? that moth? a trap for that???
Moth traps are common in dry food warehouses, libraries and other storage/archival/preservation facilities where unchecked moth breeding can see whole shelves eaten before you knkw what hit you.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moth_trap
"Moth traps are devices used for capturing moths for scientific research or domestic pest control. Entomologists use moth traps to study moth populations, behavior, distribution, and role in ecosystems, contributing to biodiversity conservation and ecological monitoring efforts. Homeowners, on the other hand, employ moth traps to protect their homes from moth infestations, particularly clothes moths and pantry moths, which can cause significant damage to textiles and contaminate stored food products."

Yes, the things you wear every day as a necessary part of existing in society, sleep on as a necessary part of continuing to exist, and use to survive through the winter.
yeah i mean i do have to wear clothes, but ima be honest i wouldnt be doing it if i werent being forced to at gunpoint. and i certainly don't need to sleep on textiles to exist, in fact i had planned to transition to sleeping on the floor but i was given a mattress so i continue to sleep in a bed through pure inertia.
and i live in the deep south all i need to survive through winter is basic shelter
Nice try mothman, now look over there, it's a nice bright light![emoji projection projection](https://hexbear.net/pictrs/image/33a66dc1-ee32-44a0-9429-655314d6781b.png)
Actually, yeah, moths can be pests themselves ("pests" not in the pejorative sense) and I believe they can carry disease?
I'm not sure, but I know of moth traps.
