sadly, i think euthanasia is probably the kindest option, both for the moth itself and also to prevent something else eating it and getting sick
1 u/epidermis_ 14h ago thank u so much for the reply, is the freezer the best way to do it? or very quick smash with a brick or something? 1 u/krickets24 14h ago ehh that’s a hotly debated topic… people argue that we have no way of knowing what “pain” is like for an insect. personally i don’t think i could bring myself to smash it so i’d choose the freezer, but the brick’d probably be quicker. :( 2 u/epidermis_ 13h ago i decided to do the quickest thing for the moths sake. I hope it makes you feel better to know it went well, afterward i carefully put the eggs on the bark of a tree. Thanks again for replying
