Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: moth lived in the house for a few days before dying and i’ve kept it because it’s cool looking and want to know what kind it is, i’ve tried to figure it out but there are soo many sub species and I am no professional haha. Thank you for the help. It loved the dark area in our bedroom or would be in our bathroom. we also live in a basement at the moment. Not sure if any of that info could be helpful but :)
