Unexpected Visitor in the Garden..

Currently cooped up at home, trying to avoid the haze. Well, I believe there's been enough news/ personal opinions regarding the haze (more than enough complaints too)! So here's something clean(?) and definitely green to post about.

After watering my pot of lemon balm, I noticed that two leaves were stuck together. I was afraid the leaves may rot or something if they didn't dry properly, so I tried to pull them apart. That was when I discovered some white webby thingy.. & then.. the lil' visitor fell out, squirming.

the visitor uhh.. pupated.. (◎_◎;)

After extensive research (done only because it actually got to the pupa stage), it turns out to be a.. moth. of sorts. (-_-")
