This is a lucky thing for me, I managed to find a very beautiful moth in my house, and this is the first time I found this moth. Under the light, this moth looks very beautiful with its orange color, and there are some black spots on its back. This moth has a size that is not too big and not too small, and this is the right size for a moth. I don't know whether this moth population is rare or not in my area, but I have never found it, I hope I can find this moth during the day, so I can photograph it with the help of a macro lens. This moth also has quite long antennae, and the size of its eyes is also quite large which makes this moth look so cute. I thought about letting this moth stay in my house tonight, so I can still photograph it tomorrow, but I felt very sorry for it, and after thinking long and hard I finally decided to take it out of my house so that it can fly freely in the wild.
Okay everyone, now I will share some pictures of this beautiful moth.

That’s a beautiful Asota moth, the orange color and black spots are very striking,,, I really appreciate your decision to release it back into the wild- freedom is more important than a perfect shot. Great captures with your Poco C65, the details are still very clear. Thanks for sharing this lovely experience
This moth wasn't flying when I took the picture, so I was able to maximize the opportunity.
