For some reason everybody thinks butterflies are better than moths.

We make children's books about butterflies,

But soon you'll grow into a beautiful butterfly.

We go into fields and frolic around trying to catch them and some people even have a collection of them.

Granted the people who do collect them do so by impaling the butterflies.

How many other insects can say that they get this much affection?

Where I come from every time you see a praying mantis you have to point out like,

Moths on the other hand are like the WHITE TRASH versions of butterflies.

Even though moths and butterflies are practically the same creature,

We laugh at them for flying in into light bulbs,

( Butterflies would do that too if they weren't asleep at night...)

Moths are so attracted to bright light that they'll follow it even if it KILLS THEM

You might think that this sort of behavior makes them stupid,

But I like to think that this just shows how dedicated they can be.

We also get mad at moths for eating our clothes.

But if butterflies liked the taste of our clothing,

They wouldn't hesitate to chomp down on our laundry.

Actually butterflies probably think that they're too good for your clothing.

Butterflies think they're too good for your t-shirts!

In Arizona we have your normal run-of-the-mill moths.

They look like a paper airplane made by someone who didn't know how to make a paper airplane.

But we also have a moth called the white lion Sphinx moth.

And these moths are like the godzilla of the moth world.

Which actually, I'm pretty sure there is a giant moth in the Godzilla world,

This again just shows how much we don't like moths.

We turn them into city destroying monsters

I'm sure when they filmed the Mothra's scenes in the Godzilla movie, they didn't even use any special effects

They just used a normal white lion Sphinx moth,

They just used a normal white-lined Sphinx moth.

Those things could beat up hummingbirds if they wanted.

One night when I was 5 years old, one of these big boys was hanging around at our porch light.

They just love themselves some GLOWING BALLS OF HEAT.

And then when someone opened the door the moth saw all the other light inside and just flew straight in.

This place is ABSOLUTELY GLIMMERINGHJRXHNBGHRMJC ^_^

It's fate was sealed as soon as it crossed over the threshold.

I don't know what the moth did once he was inside our house,

But whatever it was it sure tired him out,

My sister and I, found him on the kitchen window sill, just lying there,

He was probably thinking about the outside world,

But, he'd pretty much given up trying to escape.

Because me and my sister just scooped him up and put him into a jar.

Now, some moths are actually quite hairy,

HEY GUYS DONT GET TOO ATTACHED TO HARRY........

Which might have been a good idea if he was still a caterpillar,

We probably should have just put in a t-shirt.

We thought we were taking good care of him!

"Why don't you take Harry to your kindergarten class tomorrow?

And I don't know, maybe he can be the class pet there.".

This is back when I thought my mom had good ideas,

Because think of how cool you would be as a five-year-old showing all your classmates the giant moth you captured.

That won't make it to the end of the school year,

The teacher probably didn't want to have to come to school one day and explain to a room full of five year olds,

Why the class pet was lying on its back and not moving.

Now a lot of kids' movies that have animals in them,

The animals usually don't like being captured.

The animals want to be free and live out in the wild.

Think Finding Nemo, Spirit, Happy Feet, Free Willy.

It was common knowledge to every five year old,

That all the creatures walking on this green Earth wanted to live in the wild.

So we were more than happy to put Harry back in his home.

We all walked outside and we're excited to be part of the newly instituted catch and release moth program.
