Notes:
I have always found moths to be beautiful and relaxing even though I have a slight phobia towards all other bugs. Moths are often viewed as a pests, some symbols associated with the moth are eating, ugliness, negativity and death. I view moths as a symbol of eating fetishes. Moths have unique feeding habits that may seem frightening to some. In fact, many full grown moths do not eat at all nor do they have mouths.
