Bizarre circumstance. Animal could not stay upright. Tried to help it reset several times but it kept flipping over onto its back. Got it into the crevice between the bricks and left it alone.

Thanks @owenh - of course it is a moth. My bad, just saw Lepidoptera and didn’t think or read past that. Obviously.
