Ha, just kidding – sort of! According to a recent warning on szabadfold.hu, “a killer moth is spreading in Hungary!” The insect in question is the species called Tuta absoluta, which seems to be more of a threat to tomato plants than skyscrapers or people who, like us, are driven mad by having to throw out containers of Corn Flakes and expensive imported pecans and such because they are filled with icky little bits of moth poo.
The new batch of flying fuckers are originally from South America and appeared in Europe four years ago, finally reaching Hungary sometime earlier this year. They are capable of reproducing “extremely fast” and creating a large number of offspring, with a single bug capable of turning into nearly 500 million within five generations. Ick!
