Disturbed them on our screen door frame, they then flew down to the bottom of the frame. I had to carefully shoo them away so they didn’t get squished.

The bilobed thorax as a opposed to a plain brown thorax suggests A. munda together with a prominent 'teardrop' marking
on each of the forewings. These two species are sometimes quite difficult to tell apart.
