I think I know what you're talking about: it's a story from one of those Tales for the Midnight Hour books by J.B. (Judith Bauer) Stamper. There are four of them: Tales for the Midnight Hour, More Tales for the Midnight Hour, Still More Tales for the Midnight Hour, and Even More Tales for the Midnight Hour.
The title of the story is "The Collector," and it's published in the second one, More Tales for the Midnight Hour.
The short story is called "Moths" and it is written by J.R.R. Tolkien. It tells the story of a boy named Eadwulf who collects moths and is ultimately killed by a mysterious moth-like creature that he cannot resist following one night.
