Fascellina chromataria I have been fortunate to have two goes at this master of camouflage. The first time, I was disappointed in the result, due to the curved wing giving me focus problems. Two years later, I got my second opportunity (this shot) and went straight in for a stacked shot solution, as the only way to get the depth of field in the extremely low light.<br />

  1. Something went wrong with the geotag, please fix it. Posted 9 years ago
  2. Great looking geometer. I guess it spends time near leaf mulch. Posted 9 years ago
    1. Yes, low shrub under tree cover. As with many camouflage specialists, it has faith in its defense, and so does not spook easily.
