Don't get me wrong - I love this, but who has 3 dozen moths in a paper bag?
You don't even have a moth guy? Mine gets me big cecropia moths, he even pronounces it correctly.
I quite literally know a guy.
How much are you paying your moth guy?
Honestly he'd do it for free if you're willing to sit and listen to him about moths.
it's more of a barter situation
Hmmm. I guess it's time to tell you, but not that long ago, there used to be a lot more bugs, and getting 36 moths in a bag probably would have taken less than an hour of work during dusk.
Seriously, we're going through an insect apocalypse.

I thought it was a reasonable "3 moths", and then after your comment had to re-read APPROXIMATELY THIRTY-SIX MOTHS?!? LMAO how?
Could probably just put a small light in a jar and watch the poor fuckers fly in and get trapped
Dr. Moths?
