moths = insect
-
hi all,
are moths considered insects?
just now, i used the baygone insecticide (the very strong, instant-kill one) to spray on a moth which my sis is scared of.....usually, when i spray this insecticide on cockroaches and bees and ants, they die with
in 3 seconds, but on the moth how come like no effect?it's still alive after 5 mins, only that it seems to have lost the ability to fly.....maybe because the oil of the insecticide weigh it down.
thanks for any explanation.

try spraying insecticide into your mouth for 5 mins, see whether are you an insect as well?
-
KNN!!!!!! WTF???!!! i ask why insecticide no effect on moths??!!
-
Maybe their wings shielded them , next time try spraying into their face . That should kill them quite fast .
-
no lah...actually, i don't want to kill the moth also, because i like them, but my sis very scared, so no choice.
if bees or roaches, i will kill without thinking, but i've a very soft spot for moths, now i feel very guilty.
i've carried the moth to outside the house and gently blow it away from my house's window (about 7 storeys).
even though it can't fly, i don't think it'll die even when falling from 7 storeys to the ground floor (since it's insect).

This should answer your query.
Class Insecta = insects. Moths are insects.

Anything that has 6 legs and 3 segments is an insect.

lol, last time i forgot the lizard wasn't an insect and sprayed the super-concentrated insecticide on it for 1 full mins non-stop until the room full of oil and smell.
when i see that the insecticide is totally no-effect, then i start to remember lizard is not insect. :D

Crazy.
If I spray insecticide on you and you died, you are an insect right?
-
yeah, but since i won't die, i'm not an insect.

You put your address here lah. Some day we go find you and spray insecticide on you and try. If you wind up dead, we can conclude you are an insect.
