The moth on the light

I photographed this moth on my bedroom's lamp shade last night:

It was somewhat of a delight for this moth to take up temporary residence in my room (I don't mind moths); however, before I went to bed, I carefully trapped the moth in a glass, as to not harm the creature, to let it outside. I attempted to let it outside but it decided it was more comfortable inside the glass; I left the glass near an open window and the moth flew outside sometime during the night.

If you glance at the first two pictures or look at them out of the corners of your eyes, the moth looks more like a bat than a moth.
