Observation date: June 06, 2020
Submitted by: Ragtter
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: Moth was fluttering inside my home, on the second floor. Currently unsure how it got inside. The day was hot and humid, but the room was cooled by an air conditioner. The moth worked very hard to avoid me, but would sometimes fly between my legs or land on my hand, if I got close enough.
