Moths Infest Porch!

You may know that these parts are not just fixing to get hot, they are already hot. Not as hot as they are fixing to get (hellacious), but hot. Because these parts are already plenty hot, Crumby likes to open the door that allows transgression from the utility to room to the side porch when the clothes dryer is running. Yet when Crumby opened the side porch door he was greeted by a plague of moths (muths). There were so many moths that Crumby could not see out the door for the moths. Well. Maybe there were not that many moths, but there were at least 10 moths. And Crumby only had eyes for the moths. So, in a way, Crumby could not see past the moths.


The moths we are now discussing are little; maybe 10mm from snout to anus. Yet they sport impressive antennae and, are black or nearly black. These should be easy to figure out Crumby surmised, due to these various characters. And they were.

Turns out, these are theoretically males of the species Crytothelea nigrita. They must have all emerged on the porch, or flew to the porch because they figured that there were females on the porch. Like they smelled the pheromones. Either way, there they were, the moths, on the porch.

The females, none shown, never leave their cocoons. What they do instead is, leave one hole of the cocoon open so the males can come along and stick their weenies in. How goofy is that?
