A tiger moth.

[xiphias]

Maybe a five-inch wingspan. Gorgeous moth. Banging against one of our windows battering itself trying to get out.

I caught it, showed it to the cat to see if she wanted to eat it, then, when she responded too slowly, put it out the kitchen window. It flew away, glittering.

It's a very, very small life I saved. No mind to speak of. But it's alive.

Actually, moths she eats and keeps down. That's about the only thing she successfully hunts and eats, though.
