Killing moths

[Paul Breslin]

and my 2 cents ...

Above is a balanced view.

I have more fun planting butterfly bushes and host plants and watching 
butterflies, skippers and moths swarm around them than by collecting them - 
if everyone planted a few host plants it would more than make up for the 
numbers that are collected.
