Went through to the kitchen and ran a sink of dishes. Left them to steep and headed back through to the living room.
Went back through to the sink and noticed in the basin full of plates on top of the foam a small moth. He was stuck and looked drowned/soaked and was lifeless. For whatever reason I carefully lifted him out of the foam with a spoon without taking a load of suds and using a cup of fresh water and cotton bud I cleaned the soap off him. I then left him on the window sill to see if he came round. I decided after seeing a slight bit of movement collect my girlfriends hairdryer from the bedroom and from a distance blow some warm air on the moth to see if I could dry him off.
Trying not to blow his wings off from a distance I dried the moth off as best as I could. I then moved him to the kitchen unit near the radiator with the kitchen window wide open and waited. Half hour later he was still there and after a small poke he flapped about a bit.
I returned later and he was on the wall and his wings appeared to be moving normally. Later on I went through and he was gone.

I felt great. Seriously. A f**king old moth and I had saved it. Has anyone ever one something good for an animal for no reason? The thing is, I go fishing and shooting so I kill them as well.

I can`t work myself out.

Excellent stuff. Funny how it works. Human beings. All capable of being charitable and kind, even to insects yet at the same time collectively we`re all capable of killing each other in major wars and doing terrible things.
Obviously as a species we haven`t really evolved enough.
