Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: This moth was hanging on my back screen door last night and was sitting in my kitchen sink this morning. It was not moving, as if it were asleep. I took a flyswatter and slid it toward it's front feet and it slowly crawled on it. I released it on my back deck but It did not want to move then either.
