Good morning,
Despite the doom and gloom in the headlines this past week, there was one bright spot that attracted people’s attention and made the week just a bit more bearable. That’s right, the moth meme.
It’s common knowledge that moths love lamps and any source of brightness, but internet users saw a deluge of memes that helped make light of hectic week.
The meme actually originated from a July Reddit post where a user posted a close up picture of a wide-eyed moth outside of their window. If you haven’t seen this trend or you just want to enjoy them some more, here is a thread from BuzzFeed.
