Thankfully it wasn't bothered by the mess, and sat quietly on a towel hanging near my bed.
It was a beautiful, and early, angle shades moth.
Not far off the size of a hawkmoth, and with deeply curved wings, it is a beautiful species. I couldn't leave it to starve inside, so cold though it was, I did release it outside. It didn't fancy it, as it decided to sit on the warmth of my arm, but it fluttered off hopefully to find a safe roost.
As a temporary flatmate, not a bad one!

How beautiful. I keep toying with the idea of having a moth trap. Fascinating creatures.
ReplyDeleteI have a phobia about moths Si so dare not think what I would have done. But on pictures I do see what really beautiful creatures they are.
ReplyDeleteThank you, to me that was a stunner!
