The speaker had a fear of bugs but overcame it when they found a giant moth. They ended up raising the moth's babies, which were green caterpillars, and watched them hatch and take flight. This experience inspired the speaker to continue raising moths and share their story on TikTok, gaining over a million followers. The speaker is grateful for the journey that started with a moth. Two years ago, I found this giant moth sitting on my driveway. I had a huge fear of bugs back then, so seeing this giant tarantula with wings scared the hell out of me. Now, I don't know what got into me that day, but when she started crawling toward me, I just decided to let my hand out and let her do her thing. But I had no idea what I was about to get myself into. The next thing I knew, I was raising her babies. Tiny little green caterpillars that were growing by the day. I would feed them, clean their containers, throw away their old leaves, replace them with new leaves. This was the closest I could get to being a mother. I can't tell you the things I was feeling when they started building their cocoons. I was worried that they weren't going to make it. But then one day, I saw one hatch. And then the one after that. And the one after that. I saw every single one of them hatch. And when it was time for them to take flight, I let them go. I was there from the very beginning, and I got to watch it end. And I loved it so much that I decided to start raising more. And I've been doing it ever since. I made it my goal to shed a light on these beautiful yet misunderstood features. I shared my moth story to the world, and now here I am with over a million followers on TikTok. There are no words to describe how extremely grateful I am to everyone and everything that brought me here. And to think that all of this started because of a moth.
