Tourists in Thailand greeted by over 2,000 moths in their room
Updated | By East Coast Radio
This looked like something out of a horror story...
Insects can be a menace sometimes, and perhaps this is why they are referred to as pests.
In addition to the damage they can cause, they bring a creepy feeling. Unless you are an entomologist, you would not want to be in the presence of creepy crawlies.
Not willingly, anyway.
Tourists visiting Thailand were shocked when they invited over 2,000 moths into their hotel room. In the video, you will see many moths overtaking their bed and the mosquito net.
Watch what their room looked like from a video on Instagram.

Jemma Sayer and her friend were visiting Pai, Thailand when they noticed moths entering their hotel room from under the door.
They tried to place a towel under the door, but as they opened the door slightly, they were greeted by a cobra.
They tried to block the gap with a towel, but "when we opened the door, a cobra launched at us and over 2,000 moths flew into our room," Sayer said. (Fox Weather) According to the reports, they had only opened the door for a split second.
Thankfully, the friends were relocated to another room.
Thailand is home to many different types of creepy crawlies, aka bugs. From insects that crawl to those that fly, you will surely be welcomed with many of these during a visit to Thailand.
An American man, Chris, who packed up his life in the USA to relocate to Thailand, shared how he has become accustomed to the pests in Thailand. In a blog post from 2015, he said the insect that gave him and his roommate the most trouble was the ant.
