Found on verandah floor apparently dead, however when placing it for photographing its front legs stretched out. After I had taken my pics I placed it in a potted plant indoors to be protected and comfortable until it died, however come evening it became active and flew into an adjacent room! I retrieved it and put it outside and it flew off.
