[moth-rah] why I prefer moths from Steve Johnson

[Grkovich, Alex]

I have had one very bad expeience with ants...so I'm more careful now...My
boards are in a large clear plastic container, with the lid sealed with
weatherproofing...lucky that I didn't lose anything too valuable...but I did
lose a very nice Hybrid Admiral (astyannax/arthemis)...
