My favorite bit of advice:
> Anyone can break up a showing of an enemy propaganda film by putting two or three dozen large moths in a paper bag. Take the bag to the movies with you, put it on the floor in an empty section of the theater as you go in and leave it open. The moths will fly out and climb into the projector beam, so that the film will be obscured by fluttering shadows.
How do you go about surreptitiously obtaining several dozen large moths?

- ericbarrett 4y agoThe Bay Area used to have cercropia moths in the surrounding foothills. They are enormous, 8" or more, and their wing flapping makes an incredible basso profondo: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyalophora_cecropia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyalophora_cecropia I haven't seen one in decades. No idea if there are any left.
