Cool picture. I'm surprised that it didn't fly away when you got near to it.
Nice picture. Hope the moths camouflage keeps the predators away. Got to stay safe.
It's cool how the moth can hang almost straight up and down on the leaf
Its interesting how the wings on the moth blend in with the leaves
