WTF was that?! NOT a moth!

[PyongyangKipperbang]

Something just flew or fell, with a buzzing noise from ceiling level to the floor and disappeared. Possibly under the sofa that I am sitting on, lovely, dont really want to move in case the flying bogey man tries to grab me!

It wasnt a moth, we get a fair few and they, as we all know, dont go for dark places. And why the buzzing?! Its very cold here, not really insect season and in my 51 years I have never known a buzzing insect to do anything like that. Size wise, moth or large wasp size.

Really has given me the willies and I am the sort of person who will pick up a large spider in their hand and chuck it outside, so not normally given to even a single willy.

Probably a Common Cockchafer although may be a bit late in the year?

It was more than likely a moth, had one recently, was MASSIVE! I nearly had to move house🤢

I really dont think it was a moth, I have had some massive ones but they usually fly around first. This seemed to be more of a fall than a fly.

I would say it was smaller than a cabbage white butterfly but bigger than a blue bottle.

So...moth sized then 😜

Fucking hell 😳

Nope, this fell and buzzed , it was most strange, sort of dive bombed.

Yes, exactly what I screamed 🤣

I'm almost certain it's not a moth but there was a spider about the right size on the wall yesterday that isn't there anymore. Do they buzz?!

Oh and it looked black

We had a hornet come in the window at night recently, it was huge! It dropped to the floor and was very slowly crawling around in a dazed state. Not acting anything like a buzzing, flying hornet at all!

What I'm trying to say, badly, is that it may not be what it seems.

Windows have not been open as the house is frankly Baltic!

Not heard anything more so I am beginning to think that it may be the spider.

Have been for a wee and nothing grabbed at me from under the sofa, so I think I am safe.

I think its mainly that it made me jump a fucking mile that freaked me out!

Billy witch?

Have you got a chimney in the room? I found a big scary hornet one morning that wasn't there in the night and all windows/door were closed. Could only have come down the chimney - which doesn't work and is also sealed at the top 😫

Bat?

Shield bug? We've had a few of them recently, although they aren't very big. They do buzz a bit, though.

Only when you plug them in.
