Thinking about Moths

I've always been fascinated by the insect world, because we can watch it with something close to a God's-eye view. And watching, we see things that they themselves cannot. What would a similar observer see, watching us?

There is a species of spider that uses sex pheromones to trick male moths. Let's think about moths. Their sense of smell is so powerful that it might be fair to say that their world is composed of scents in the same way that ours is composed of sights. Believing they smell, or as we would have it, see a lady moth, the male flies toward her hoping for a night of happy moth sex when all of a sudden he is caught in the swinging web of a bolas spider, killed and eaten.

Does God see the same thing happening in our world?
