The pattern on the wings is very distinctive and along with the shape and coloration make it resemble a dead leaf.  Geotagged,Lepidoptera,Selenia kentaria,Spring,United States,insect,leaf,mimic,mimicry,moth Click/tap to enlarge PromotedSpecies introCountry intro

  1. Absolutely gorgeous! Posted 6 years ago
    1. I actually moved this moth from a dark corner of the house to the better lit area. It didn't like being moved and flew around a lot before finally settling down where I could position my tripod and start taking pictures. Glad it decided to stay. Posted 6 years ago
