Field Notes

Habitat:

Found flying against the window of our house at night.

Notes:

Something was banging against our window. I went out to see what it was. The moth was flying around wildly crashing into the walls, windows and me. I was hoping it would stop so I could get some photos. Finally it did. Landing on my neck.
