Moth

Description:

A (pretty) brown color at the top of its wings, with most of the wings being covered in a darker black color, but with brown creeping in along the edges. The underside of the things are brown and back and have strong venation.

Habitat:

Urban

Notes:

The rainy season was starting up and the insects came out in force. This moth found its way inside the house, so I took it upon myself to catch it and return it to the outside world. It's a strong flyer, which made it very difficult for me. I was finally able to catch it in a glass and released it outside, where it went on to live a happy moth life.
