Submitted by: soychan
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: It was sitting there. When it was windy, it would crawl to a place with less wind. It took maybe 5-10 seconds to vibrate its wings enough to fly. Didn't fly far. It was a rather large moth. 3-4 inches maybe? I didn't really measure it...
