Tw: Moth blood. And dead moth.
Hehe, I get to be detective again :)
So my sibling mentioned last week that there's dried splattered blood (We own cats. Not unheard of) on the wall by their bed that showed up one morning years ago. They suspect that Squirelcat caught something and brought it up to their bed and ate it because there was no body of whatever was the owner of the blood.
Today I was washing the walls by their bed and find the blood splatters so old they were black. I pull their headboard away to wash the wall better and find a giant moth dead and stuck to the side.
Squirellcat has been known to bring in giant moths. I assume that they brought in the moth and brought it up to their bed, bit it real hard so the blood splattered on the wall, but the moth managed to get away and crawl inside my siblings headboard away from the cat to die a peaceful death (tragic imo), and Squirrelcat did not get to eat the moth.
However, something that confuses me is the lack of blood around the moth. If it was enough to splatter across the wall then it should have bled out, right? Maybe moths just work that way, even if they're injured they don't bleed out. When was the last time I saw a dead moth on a puddle of their own blood. I haven't. Maybe it died from something else, like trying to wait out the cat and dying of starvation. I don't know how moths work, but if someone else does then please feel free to infodump and be a detective with me
