Miller moths bring back strange memories. Consider the time when Jeff Korman, the football player who lived down the hall from us in my college freshman year, was eating moths to entertain my roommate and me. I do not know why he was eating moths. I did not care why he was eating moths. I just wanted him to get out of our room and leave us alone, so I could finish my homework.
