I have a fear of.... (Show me customs!)

[Sunshine]

Okay guys, this is a really weird request!  But I have a fear of MOTHS.

Yes. Those little night-time butterflies. They terrify me. I'm not really all that fond of butterflies (near me) either but I can handle going into butterfly houses, looking at them on flowers, etc. Moths, I have to be behind glass, or I'll just start freaking out.

OKAY, So, my request is... has anyone made a MOTH related pony? I know there are TONS of butterfly-esque customs, but I'm talking about the more dark, "sinister" cousin of the butterfly!

Dunno if anyone's made one, but...  I eagerly and nervously await your photos!

I had a friend with the same fear! He actually really hurt himself cause of a moth! had his weight set out on his back porch and at about 8pm was out doing some of the exercise where you lay on the bench with the weighted bar and lift it above you and back down (gah can you tell who DOESN'T exercise... I have no clue what its called) But he had gotten home from work and was looking to blow off steam. The porch light was on and a moth who was attracted to the porch light came flying around him. He freaked out and with the bar held above him just let go and dropped the whole thing in a panic fury trying to get away. He bruised his upper chest and neck really bad (I told he he could have died!) but he was so scared of moths. He couldn't explain it and was so creeped out by them.

Snakes, spiders, public speaking, everyone has something they don't like, creeps them out, or are scared of, you may not be able to explain why but everyone has something. (mine being dolphins, I hate those toothy rubber skinned devils) so you know to each their own.

I wouldn't mind seeing some cool moth ponies though!

I LOVE moths!  Love them!  Best flying creature of all! 

I have seen a bunch of luna moth ponies in here.  And I know Ambar makes gorgeous moth and butterfly ponies.  I hope she might post some pictures.

I hate moths because they EAT MY FABRIC. Well... they would. Anyway, I hate fabric-eating moths.

When I was looking up butterflies for a swap, I discovered some AMAZING moths (mostly African-dwelling).

This sunset moth would inspire an AMAZING pony!

I didn't get specific enough - moths if the family Saturniidae (aka, Lunas, Polyphemus, Cecropia - the family with the BIG North American moths in it) those are cool with me. Those cant' fit into my mouth, though I will still freak out if one is flying around inside my house.

Also, I wanted to say that I'm not a moth killer... I usually just try to trap them in a box and let them go outside. Blerg... barf. Not a fan!

And yikes about your friend Fox! That is scary! I don't think I've ever been injured because of one, I usually just look like a moron when they're around, lol!

So you're just afraid of little fuzzy mousy moths?

Oh! I'm scared of moths too! I don't really like butterflies either Any kind of insect scares me. I like butterfly themed ponies (and ponies with cute honey bees on them) but I don't like them in real life!

I like moths ok, as long as they don't fly into my hair!  And that is a gorgeous  moth, Salli!

I don't like mouths or butterflies flying at my face.
But we went to an art exhibition at the tate in london for my birthday 2 summers ago (cant remember his name atm he does the diamond skulls and the spot paintings too) well he had all these stunning works of arts done with butterflies. Some were like stained glass windows. Well anyway as part of this bit there was a room you went in with real butterflies flying around (room had special doors to keep them in and people making sure they don't get hurt etc) well i freaked out a lil then i had one land on my head & one on my arm they are so pretty not scary at all. The people who worked in that room quickly came and took them off you if you didn't like it i didn't mind thought it was so cool how it was on my arm.
So im not scared anymore but i do hate anything flying round my face or near my eyes i will freak lol.
We get a lot of moths in our bathroom from time to time. When they sty still its fine if they start to flap i run lol different environment than the butterfly room. Don't want them flapping around me whilst im brushing my teeth haha

There has to be more moth customs out there, I bet a summer or windy with moth wings would be awesome.

[Sunshine]

I know I'm hoping to see some... like "scary" Moth customs hahah (scary to me!) or like, maybe Moth-Ra type? AND more beautiful-moth customs, because those are always like not what I expect and I love seeing them (like Roognas!)

Also, I think it's kinda awesome how I'm not alone in the whole moths freak me out thing!!

Guys, please try to stay on topic. The moth stories are fascinating, but this is the customs forum. There is now a whole page of moth chatter and only one post with an actual custom.
