Do you remember the first time you watched a bad daytime interview show, like Springer or something, and someone is just making a total ass out of themselves, doing or saying something very uncomfortable?
Or when you are sitting through a high school talent show and all of a sudden you feel embarrassed for your classmate who is singing "The Greatest Love Of All" by Whitney Houston?
You sometimes have to cover your eyes, or look away.
Thats "the motts".

The Moths 

They feel similar to butterflies, but where butterflies are that soft fluttering feeling you get when you are excited or happy, The Moths are that sick stomach-flipping feeling you get when you are worried or are upset about something.

The happy fluttering and sick flopping feeling are actually very similar feeling reactions, just one is for a good reason and the other is for a bad. Therefore since moths are the ugly version of butterflies, they represent the ugly verson of the stomach flip-flopping.
When you see your significant other or the person you are interested in enter into the room, you get excited and feel butterflies in your stomach.

When you see your ex with someone else, you get sick and upset and feel The Moths in your stomach.
