A person who collects moths and then eats them. Could also refer to any other moth eating creature, but sounds cooler when used as a descripto-derogatory term.
Hassan: Hey, look at this beautiful moth that landed in front of my door.
Abeer: Omg Omg, dude, I collect moths. Can you give this to me?
Idris: Hassan, don't give it to her, she's a heteroceraphagi
