Do moths sting you

Answer 1

There is at least one spitting moth, which I have been unable to identify by name. I have it in a speciment jar, for inspection. At approximately 10.00 p.m., 13 July 2009, i tspat a grey milky cloud of droplets over my wife. The droplets did not irritate, or seem toxic in any way. The circumatnces of the spitting were that the moth had flown into our dining room and had gone directly to the ceiling lights. It seem to react aggressively to my wife's attempt to shoo" it back out the door. I used a fairly large polythene container to trap it, using the bulk of the box to defend against further sprays. I have it now in a glass jar. Evry time I approach it it becomes very agitated. The colouration is plain pale grey/brown, with a central rear russet triangle to the upper side of the wings. The lower side is also plain with a ragged dark grey transverse line running from wing edge to wing edge at the rear of the wings. The dimensions are: wingspan, extended, approximately 20-25mm. Length approx. 15-20mm.
