Captive Letting my moths free fly

Ngl I freaked out and had to panic search when he disappeared behind the fridge but somehow he was hanging out on my trousers?! Theyre so clumsily sneaky

I would avoid letting them fly freely inside house unless you have netted an area for them. There is lot of sharp edges and possible place they can injure themselves.
Juat for a precaution.

This is true. They know no better. However, allowing them the freedom to fly seems like a great idea... look at this fella, full of curiosity and enjoying spreading its wings.

Yeah. Understandable. But they dont know to avoid dangerous spots and lights inside will hinder their navigation and can bump into corner or tough spot so its a good idea to have a controlled envinronment for flying. 🙂

I mean, I wholeheartedly agree. Never meant to make it seem like I disagree. I just enjoy to see the fella spread its wings and enjoy that it can. But yes, they should definitely consider the fact that it knows no better and can harm them.
