What the flip is this flying monster in my condo and how do I make it go bye bye?

I had an Atlas moth flying around my place 4 years back.  Fantastic creatures.  Beautiful.

We used to get them in the garden occasionally too. Not seen one for many years now though, probably because of the smoke.

Just some moth, use a container with lid, cover the moth then slide the lid against the wall carefully 

Yes, Red Kramer has it right -

If it's really a moth, that definitely doesn't sound so bad.

I recall something similar many years ago and luckily it was on the floor of my shower.

So I drowned it.

But it took about 10 flippin' minutes!

Like a horror movie it wouldn't quit.

I really felt like I had murdered something after that.

That's why I don't think something basic like a swat with a magazine will kill it and I'm skeptical about spraying it as well. I need more fire power but I forgot to pack my AK47.

 

Jingthing enjoys torturing and killing beautiful, harmless animals?  Sadly not surprising.  🤦‍♂️

Anyone of these? Anisoneura ?

It's got to go.

No room for both of us.

What is it?

Will it bite?

Is it poisonous?

A giant roach or beetle?

Could it be a bat?

So days ago I opened a screen door and this monster flew n! High floor Condo.

Perhaps attracted to light or warmth compared to outside.

First action was to try to encourage it to exit the same place it entered with a cheeky broom.

It was not having it!

It spread it's wingspan very wide and seemed to be attacking me back.

So that won't work.

Leaving the screen open doesn't work as it likes being inside.

So day and night it mostly just sits in one place but sometimes moves to a new place.

Sometimes it's  very visible as it's massive and other times its hidden.

So far I've been able to block it out of my bedroom.

As it's so big and so aggressive if bothered I'm not sure what to do.

I don't think swatting it with a magazine will work.

If it positions in a way where I can trap it in a large plastic container I'll probably try that but expect it to detect the danger so not confident that will work.

Perhaos spray it with something that will cripple it's wings? Soap? Something else?

It's soooooo incredibly dangerous you could die if you spend more than a few hours breathing in the same air when it's in the same room. If I were you, I'd leave this place and go find somewhere else to live immediately.
