OH MY GOD!!!!

I HATE MOTHS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!

AAAAAAARRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*runs off to cancel flights*

It's the first time I've been aware of it but assume that Jad is right (having been here longer and so notice the ups and downs of the weather) and we are in for a hot one this year. Had a couple of mild years. Got up to about 30 today which is warm for Spring.

You'll be fine, only have the yellow bulbs outside and they possibly won't bother you too much.

Woke up this morning to find a turkey breakfasting on the latest crop of moths. I certainly don't want one of them feeling at home in the garden And it really disconcerts the magpies by following them around.

Hi, in Thornlands, bayside, and yes we are swarmed too, luckily we had house sprayed recently and no live ones on windows, but grass full of em... Kath

this is funny........... well for others who are reading the thread... not for us who are hate moths obviously!

Really like you said there blackcat, spiders, snakes I' not scared of but moths, eeeeeeeee they're just so hairy, with paper thin wings, grey bodies and big eyes for something so small and they're just so rndom with their flying!!!!

Just gross I hate them! funny as I cricked my neck trying to avoid one once!!
and they are attracted to canberra............

I've seen them in the headlights don;t look any different so far

They leave moth dust too!! Yuk. My skin is now crawling just thinking about it!! ( how are you settling in?) Emma

eeeeeeee yeh what is the purpose of them!

We really appreciate being here at the moment, soaking up the whole experience, just enjoying the moments.... how's my other half's hometown .......

What's your timeline.......?

Not to bad (loads of new building works), but lets just say wont be sad to leave! Still hope to be there for christmas, all our co is now waiting for is our meds which are stuck in the delay at LCU!!!:curse: Where are you renting?

how fab..... not about the building works........about you geting here!

We're renting in Red Hill at the mo, nice and relaxed even with the 5 and 4 yr old boys!

Not managed to direct their playfulness! to karat 'ie' chopping the moths!

You got any ideas where you may settle?

Would love to be in some where like Dickson or Manuka, but i think they will be way to expensive! Just want to be close to good schooling other wise not to picky!

Yeah our place is swarming with the bloody things too. At least they are easy to spot and kill , jeez its so easy wee can suck them up with the dustbuster. Not like the flies, that brings out the man hunter in me, I track 'em down and then swat them with my little wand fly splatter stick.

Mozzies of course need to be killed with machine guns and rockets

Manuka is lovely, the ares can be expensive, although we reckon we got a bargain, we only live 2 mins drive from manuka centre and find it a lovely place to be, loads of cafes, eateries, a cinema and the open air swimming pool(dickson has a swimming pool too!).

Schools in the area are good too, there is a childcare centre in manuka for pre school and pre-pre school children which has an excellent reputation (that I didn't know about iI just went on 'gut instinct and been lucky!) my youngest goes there I will pm you the name of it anyway.

Good luck with your search!

...and some of them are really big too

How big?????

Do you live in Australia?

I got up one night, as something was fluttering around in the Venetian blind, and I got a shock when I saw it was a moth. It was about 5 cm in length

Well it was a lot bigger than UK moths anyway..
