I spotted this moth while working. I was just about to step down in a flower bed and looked down to see where I was stepping and I'm glad I did. I saw this moth resting on the soil. It was early and cold and it wasn't moving much. I picked it up and put it on the dashboard of a work truck until I could find something to put it in. It began to warm up and walk around a lot. For a second I lost it, it flew out of the truck, even though it was hardly flying. Thankfully a coworker spotted it on the road and told me. I grabbed it again and brought it back home. It was near the end of its life and died later that day.
No problem! Beautiful photo! Here is the one I found, if you'd like another source of reference:
