I don't know if this is a moth or a butterfly, but if you look at it briefly, its shape is very similar to a moth, because it has a long and large body and has slightly thicker fur than the fur owned by butterflies. But keep in mind when this insect is flying it is very difficult to distinguish, the easiest way to distinguish between these two insects is when they are standing. so the story is this insect entered my house and right on the doormat I found it, all of this did not fly which indicates that its condition was very weak, but as usual I immediately took the opportunity to photograph it first, after I photographed this moth, I prepared to immediately lift and move it out of the house so that this moth can live freely in the wild as it should.

For the next few days I just have to wait for them to come back into my house. Lol, since it's the rainy season now, it's very possible for that to happen.
