Oh my wife is going to kill me.

The other day a huge moth flew in the house and landed on my wife's new Pottery Barn curtains in one of our rooms. She told me to kill it but I was watching football or playing Xbox or something. Next day, she noticed this "dust" on the curtain. Told her I'd clean it up. But found out this "dust" were eggs laid by the moth. Well, those eggs hatched yesterday and I started taking pictures.

I put the tip of my pinky finger in one pic so you can get idea of size.

One cool photo but I thinks you are going to be dead meat soon.

I agree...defying marching orders to remove moth from Pottery Barn curtains nonetheless is well....a death wish in my book! Especially, if your excuse is you got sidetracked by a football game! Nice pics, but like Nomad said, DaBeez is dead meat!

If DaBeez is not dead meat I'm willing to bet a play ten dollar bill he will have to forgo any new toys for a long time....

LOL. I know. I tried to save as many of the babies as possible and put them outside in the allysum. There is a big smear on the curtains where I tried to clean them. I dont think she'll ever notice though.

Well............ I got soooo busted this morning.

Word of advice, do not use flying insect spray on white curtains. It leaves an ugly brown "stain" that is quite visible when the sunrise hits it just right.
