Field Notes

Notes:

This large moth, at least three inches long flew into our bedroom right before bed and I was able to get him to settle on a towel so I could grab a few pictures before setting him free in an empty toilet paper roll. Unfortunately it was after sunset so the bathroom lighting was as bad as it could get.
