Somehow when I see them in pictures, I feel fine.

Somehow when I see them in person, I nope out of the room, find the biggest glass cup I can find, turn on all the lights to confuse them into settling on a wall somewhere, and then I sneak up on them without casting a shadow.

You'll live, motherfucker, but not in my house.

They're huge. I got a Luna moth tangled in my hair while pitching a night softball game as a teenager. Had to call a time out to get it untangled, lol.
