Nice, thanks, Claire. I’ve noted the website and look forward to settling in for a session with a cup of hot chocolate.

My African childhood was populated by a wide variety of moths, the largest of which was about as big as my outstretched childhood hand – “Molly Moth” was that species’ colloquial name.

You – and any visiting storytellers – will enjoy paying this website a visit – http://www.themoth.org

I came across it some months ago and have been meaning to pass the link on.

I’m very fond of moths – just wish they were better able to resist the allure of the flame!

Well, if I’ve eased two new moth-watchers into the world, I’m happy. L,P

Lovely writing. (It’s a poem). My sister hates moths and my daughter too. (My daughter says it’s because they are so blind and dumb …) I’m ambivalent – have an almost amused detachment towards their night blunders. But maybe I’ll appreciate them a lot more after reading what you’ve written here with such beauty.

I’m terrified of moths. My brother put one down the neck of my jersey once, and I’ve never quite gotten over it. But now as I look at that still silvery form and read your gentle post, I realise I may (just perhaps) be ready to take my first small step to somewhere new.
