Observation notes: He was in my home. I came out of the bathroom and he was there he was very polite i think. I put him in a small jar with a cotton ball thats been dipped in sugar water (because that's what it said to do online) and i will release him from my apartment building soon. I am not a scientist or anything I just really like moths and i hope this helps. The weather is cloudy and 73 degrees out
