Description
I took six or seven of this insect and well, only one is well focused. It shook even I lay the camera on the floor. And then, I had to creep slowly to it, so I'll not scare away my only insect macro.
Does anyone know what type of insect is this? A moth?
Took this at the balcony of the hotel lobby during night. You should look at the floor, there are a PLETHORA of insects all around.
Only this cute nice insect remain still for me. Oh, a few insects are squished as well. There are just too many of them all over the floor. Genting Highlands, Pahang, Malaysia.
Cropped and adjusted the level. Constructive comments are welcomed.

Ooooh, great shot here. It's totally a moth, though I'd be hard-pressed to tell you anything beyond that except that it is fluffy and I have the bizarre desire to pet it.

It looks like a puppy to me. 
Petting it sounds nice. Just make sure it won't bite or fly away.

I don't know. Insects bite, right? No?

Perhaps a biology teacher has answers.

moths have the same mouthparts as butterflies, so they can't bite, though the can lick you
