User's notes

Photo 2 shows that it has lost one of the inner wings. Since it was clearly exposed on my deck and unsure whether it could fly I moved it to a location more hidden from predatory sparrows and other birds. Was still there in the evening but gone by the next morning.

Reminds us these moths live short precarious lives as adults.
