Observation notes: It was in my house. Not sure when it came in- nobody saw it flying around. It was a bit under my washing machine just chilling, didn’t move while I shuffled around next to it, loaded & started the wash. I told it I was getting a cup to scoop it into & let it outside, that I’d be back. When I came back maybe 15 seconds later (after it sat there completely unbothered by me for at least 10 minutes) it started crawling towards me. I said well hold still so we can get you out, it stopped & I placed the cup over it saying in ya get. Lifted the cup, & in it was. I brought it outside, set the cup down & told it to be free. And there it sits, as the pic shows lol. Maybe I’m a moth whisperer, or maybe the moth is a human whisperer…
