It looks like leaf mimic moth :) http://www.flickriver.com/photos/artour_a/3839713897/ http://gtapestry.blogspot.in/2007/11/festival-of-moths-blacklighting.html
Done Juan. Andrea, dotun55, Lauren and Debbie, thank you.
Great camouflage and it uses all 4 wings to achieve the leaf look. Nice series.
If the cover (first) image were the only one, we would have been fooled as well to calling it a mere leaf, or a flattened slug :) Wonderful mimic!
