Field Notes

Description:

This moth looks like a leaf. Not totally sure what type of moth he is. He has a long pointed body with ridges going down his body. He has a segmented body with separate head and torso. Tough outer exterior. This moth has four legs that I could see.

Habitat:

Wooded area

Notes:

Found him frozen on the screen door this morning. He seemed frozen in time. No matter how hard you shut the door, he doesn't move.
