Is this a Glider???? Which is on its wheels to take off???
If YES!! Then Cabin crews have to take their stations…. ;-)
If NOT!!!! Then…..This is probably a Moth, which looks similar to a small butterfly. It measures ~3 cms in length. I just managed to take a snap just the way you see it now, without disturbing it. This is the first time for me to have a closer look of a moth with its amazing flaps (antennas) and its scaring eyes. I then imagined how it would be to have a creature like this in an animated English movie as a character!!! (Just like Jurassic park or any other alien films)

This pic was shot when the moth was sitting on the wall.
I have few other closer views of this small creature. If you like to see more of these snaps, please mail me for those pics.
