A luna moth was on our window outside the department yesterday.
So, we brought it inside for a lab show and tell. Shivering up a storm….
Thorax temperature up to 32C, while the abdomen temperature was still below 20C (the lab was ~21C, and the moth had been briefly placed in a cold fridge).

Nice one, Glenn. How long was it in the ‘fridge?

very briefly to be honest, although yesterday was rainy and air temp was below 20C when we brought indoors. I think my colleague put it in the fridge for about 5 min and then I grabbed the thermal cam.
