Wildlife Spotting

This moth pulled a stunt that was very effective against me. As I raised myself from on top a stool to take photos, it violently rocked its upper body (wing covering) over its still and ominously marked (brown and white bands) abdomen. It was the same way hydraulic-powered vehicles moved it did. It was very frightening that without hesitation, I quickly descended the stool. It did this once and remained calm afterwards.
