When I was in middle school, I found a beautiful, gigantic moth on the balcony of a hotel my youth group was staying at. I don't know what type it was, except red with gorgeous eyespots on each wing. I picked it up carefully to show the other girls in the group, but they were all horrified at its size(bigger than my hand), even the leaders, and made me feel like a freak for even touching it. Its nice see a little community growing where people are kind to moths, thank you for creating it.

It’s a shame you couldn’t enjoy the company of the moth without reactions like that. I’m glad you’ve found some like-minded people here on tumblr. :)

While I’m an obvious participant in the moth community/fandom/whatever we’re calling it, I really can’t take the credit for creating it. Other people were at it well before I discovered fyeahcutemoths and jumped in out of artistic interest. At best, I helped spread a little awareness of the community and bring a few new people into it via my comic. I’ve received negative feedback over it from people who don’t appreciate the bugs, but I’ve also seen many happy and kind comments toward moths because of it, and that encourages me.My frequent blogging of moths, choice of depicting insect characters, and decision to not just raise moths but write about it is without question born out of a personal interest, but I also see our community as an opportunity to share this appreciation for small creatures and perhaps teach others to treat them humanely. If we can see something as stereotypically frightening or “other” as insects as a little more deserving of compassion - if anthropomorphizing helps with that, or if education through exposure leads to a greater understanding of them - then maybe the kindness we learn toward fragile and helpless creatures can carry over into our whole lives and help us exercise restraint over our power to harm or end life so easily.That’s just how I feel about it, though.Also, you get a moth.
