~~(Post deleted lest I offend - it really was in extremely poor taste.)~~

Screw it: I'm gonna post. But I warn that it is VERY tacky. Know that it is posted in good humour and NOT meant to offend (though I am sure some will still be offended anyways).

Spoiler:

Presumably they did some testing on whether these moths transmit any blood-born pathogens before sitting around all day serving themselves up.

They're scientists not lab technicians;)

I'm glad they're not around here, they look big!

For moths, they aren't all that big.

This is a big moth:

I would never leave my house if there were giant blood sucking moths like that one!!

Yeah but I was guessing there would be little wings folded up somewhere, surely. It's body seemed big compared to that of a moth or butterfly.

Fruit eating, or Fruit sucking ?
