Removed the guilty bugger:

• E 50-300mm F4.5-6.3 A069

Started to rain so I took some pictures while I was inside the garage and unfortunately the light was not great.

• Sony E 30mm f/3.5 Macro
• 30.0 mm
• ƒ/8

• ISO 1000

• Sony E 30mm f/3.5 Macro

That's enough nightmare fuel for one night. Perhaps I should be grateful I don't have a longer macro lens

Moths, but I'll never know, I gave them to the neighbors kid who probably fed them to the ducks instead of feeding and hatching them
