I once again managed to find a moth that had made its way into my home. While my family and I were having dinner, a moth suddenly fluttered over our dining table; at first, I paid little attention to its presence, but before long, it landed right on the table. It was raining heavily that night, creating a cool, refreshing atmosphere; there was not a sound to be heard other than the patter of rain on the roof. The rainy season had arrived—an ideal time for farmers to plant rice in their fields, and a golden opportunity for me to discover the various unique insects that wander into my house. If I am not mistaken, I had encountered this type of moth a few days earlier, though this one differed in size and wing shape. The moth I found previously had its wings spread open, clearly revealing its upper back, whereas this one kept its wings tightly closed, obscuring its upper back from view.

I repeat, this is a truly unique type of moth; I really love every detail of it.
Alright everyone, I am now going to share some photos of this moth here.
