Why can't you kill moths
In the minds of the older generation, moths can't be killed, mainly because in traditional thinking, moths represent the souls of relatives after death. In the past, there were moths in the mourning hall every night, so people regarded them as the souls of dead family members and expressed their disappointment. They thought they were the souls of relatives who came back to visit relatives, so they could not be killed. But this statement is superstitious, just like whether bats fly into the house is good or bad.
From a scientific point of view, moths can't be killed because they have phototaxis, so they will appear in the mourning hall at night and be attracted by the lights. At this time, it is best not to touch it, because there is thick powder on the wings of moths, and some people will have skin allergies, resulting in little red dot and itching. In addition, moths also have a certain role in spreading pollen, so it is best not to kill them when you see them.
What does a moth put out the fire portend?
According to the theory of geomantic omen, the moth's fire suppression mainly indicates that family members may have money leakage during this period, or may be a sign that they will be troubled by troubles during this period. But from a scientific point of view, it is normal for moths to fly into the house, especially at night, because moths have phototaxis.
