Meal Moth - Pyralis farinalis

Meal Moth - Pyralis farinalis
Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada
August 29, 2020
Clear and windy day, with winds approx. 40kmh gusting to 50kmh. Temperature approx. 22 degrees centigrade. Moth was captured as it sat on a wall near a window. At first I thought it was a bird dropping. It had it's abdomen sticking up with wings flat against the wall.
