Observation notes: The moth suddenly started flying around my room in a very excited fashion, out of no where, in spiral, round and round. The window was closed. After a moment, it stopped and settled quietly. I took a few pictures then proceeded into opening the window and to let it go free. It flew into the computer screen a few times. Weather was very hot and humid. Partly cloudy Meteo : 28°C°F ( feels like 34) Precipitation: 21% Humidity: 57% Wind: 8 km/h
