Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Moth was alive inside new construction sitting on an open stud. Left it there, and next day didn't see it until later afternoon when it flew around from attic corner. I tried to get it to fly out of structure but came back in a few minutes later and went under bathtub, so had no access. Building was closed up. Found moth dead in lower level several days later near a door.
