Not that these zebra striped patterns will do good at keeping moths and roaches away when you don’t have any. Then there’s anything that flies and stings.
I’ve heard Mortimer was the name of a childhood pet mouse of Walter. His wife Lillian suggested to name his internationally famous cartoon rodent Mickey instead (Mortimer was used for the love rival to Minnie).

“Mortimer” then would become the name of Mickey’s rival.

Only because of “recorded” being the keyword. Abraham said it aloud in Hebrew.
Once skinned, dried and stretched, the Zebra stripes can be used to swat flies.

It’s not that a zebra’s stripe REPEL insects, but the research shows that some flies become confused and have a hard time landing on them.
