For the 2nd time this year, something has laid eggs on the front door. It wasn't there this afternoon. Kinda don't think it has anything to do with that little bug...But....
I've only seen moths and earwigs in that area this year, and none before dark today.

Must have been recently emerged. Eventually after a few minutes of seemingly drying its wings, it took off on what I presume to be its first flight.
