Not many I would think. The 21st Century pregnant moth has invoked The Human rights act that makes it unlawful to throw a mothball at a pregnant moth whilst in flight.
The Health and Safety Executive have also enacted a law thar prevents the thrower propelling a moth ball unless fully protected with helmet, eye protection gloves and an high visibility jacket. Propelling a moth ball is not allowed within 500 metres of any public building that seats more than 10 people. I read that on the back of a toilet door in the Bullring.
