Famili Erebidae
While exploring around the house at night, I found a moth from the Erebidae family perched on the wall near the lamp. This family is one of the largest groups in the order Lepidoptera and is known for the diversity of shapes and color patterns on its wings. The specimen I photographed has a dominant color [please fill in the dominant color, for example "grayish brown"] with a faint but elegant pattern, possibly functioning as camouflage in its natural habitat.
Moths from this family are active at night (nocturnal) and are often attracted to light. Many species within the Erebidae also have larvae known as "caterpillars", which are sometimes found feeding on the leaves of both wild and cultivated plants.
I cannot confirm the exact species because further identification is needed, but general characteristics such as a rather large body shape, soft feathered antennae, and a flat wing resting position indicate typical Erebidae.

Even though the photo was taken at night, it is still very beautiful. Also, these types of insects come more in the light of the lights. Thank you very much for presenting us with a very beautiful subject through photography.
