I found this beautiful moth outside the kitchen window not looking very good. She seemed to be on her way out so I brought her in and she spent about a week living on my herbs in the kitchen and keeping me company as I cooked.
I’m not sure why she had issues with flying and seemed to not want to go anywhere, but she seemed content with being indoors away from the cold.
I’ve yet to look into what she is exactly, but if anyone knows, let me know! All I know is that the wings were very beautiful and she laid eggs on my rosemary plant.
UPDATE! I've just been informed via message that she is a Chelepteryx chalepteryx, in my favourite family Anthelidae! I did wonder because her wings were very similar to the patterns on the smaller counterparts I'd been raising! I've still got her eggs that I'm looking after so maybe I'll have some new caterpillars soon.
