Very small black plastic screen mesh...

Barb it looks almost as big as some bats we have around here. It looks like it`s taking a little nap!

John, you're right!
We had a small bat flying around in the double garage...(my smoking/coffee room at 6 a.m....I just about had a heart attack!)

Hope he helps to pollinate palms and yuccas 😆

4" moths are strange.....please keep them in your neck of the woods! I like my little 1/2" long Yucca moths!
