Somber Carpet
The white "shadows" on AM & PM are distinctive. Seeing a lot in Mobile, last few weeks

 
Thanks
Thanks. I found it in the house; source of concern?

 
None
Other than it starving

 
Ah
What I thought. I let it outside. Turns out I had photographed this one before, back in Panama City Beach. I don't do well it seems with the grayish moths like this one, I don't have the experience or the eye (yet) for them.

I imagine you are starting to get huge numbers of migratory dragonflies down your way soon?
