I have all my tritium vials sitting in a clear plastic container on my home computer desk. I went in the room this morning and found two dead moths next to it. Too much light perhaps ???

Or perhaps it was the radiation that got them !!!! :caution:
( Joking, I know it wasn't.)

Plenty more light where that came from, eh?

When you say "all my tritium vials" do you have loads? I think I've only got three not on torches ATM - severe vial envy!!!!:drool:


Moths beware!

Got a few. I think it's the two big ones that attracted them. 5cm x .6cm.

Moth A: I love this glowing light... it's so beeeeaauuuttiful.
Moth B: Let's pretend to die besides it so the owner will cast it out in fear. Then we shall have it.
Moth A: Awesome idea, ok, here he comes....

Your thread is obviously intended in a light-hearted way, but the title is quite inflammatory and could attract unwelcome contributions.

Please substitute a less alarming title.

How about .......

Tritium causes moth Fatalities


< New evidence suggests >

They circle the light in opposite directions causing fatal head-on collisions.

The light was so beautiful their lives would be meaningless from now on so they killed themselves.

That or they tried to eat the microfiber sweater in your room that they thought was wool...

Well, it's a good thing ants didn't find it. We all know what radiation does to them!

(Darn, I wanted to attach a pic but see no attachment button :mecry:)

Done.

( Except of course too much Tritium can kill, though only in a LOT more quantity than I'm ever likely to see. :D )

I put them in the bin this morning. I'm too afraid to open it now in case they have mutated into flesh sucking human eaters. :eek:

If it were shown that the tritium killed the moths, it'd just create a rush of CPFers buying tritium specifically for the purpose of insect control..
