I would love to put lanterns on my balcony (we just moved in to an apartment that has one!) but I have a problem: I am TERRIFIED of moths, and in dry CO, we get tons in the summer. Anyone have any suggestions for keeping them away while still having light outside? I would appreciate anything.

I want a large moroccan style lantern above my outdoor dining setting, I wouldn't light it often but I just think since I have a 100 year old dining setting outside and it's rather delicate and pretty looking it would go well...

Staar84 -- you can find citronella candles or oil lamps (which repel many flying bugs) to fit just about any of these lanterns. You ought to be able to find them easily: hardware store, drugstore, Target, maybe even your grocery. If that doesn't do the trick (and if your apartment building allows it), you could put up matchstick blinds or a curtain of gauze/mesh/mosquito netting to keep them out.

And I'm with you. Moths = ick, ICK.

Oh hey, I have that *exact* little Casablanca lantern in white...but I got mine from PaperSource. Where, apparently, I paid twice as much as Z Gallerie [loooove] charges. Sigh.

Cost Plus World Market has some good ones too usually.

I like the paper ones - they would look so cute in a magnolia tree. Just like the Blue Bayou restaurant at Disneyland or something.
