Is that a butterfly, or a moth? I have a hard time telling them apart. I have read about the wing differences, but I’m still not really sure about this one.
I always have a hard time anthropomorphizing their heads. Like, is the "face" looking down into the wind shield here, with the "top of their head" pointing along the windshield towards the upper right in the image?
Or, is the "face" looking in that same direction along the windshield, with what we see from here being the "underside of the chin", kind of deal?

That’s so cool, thank you for sharing!! I’m just a little outside of its geographic range but will still keep my eyes peeled for them 👍
