Hi. I believe this name should be Looper not Lopper. It comes from a family of Looper moths and is an obvious 'typo' that is getting out of control on the internet.
Way to spot this one!! Beautiful moth! :)
superb camouflage!
It sure knows how to "vanish" :) Really cool picture!
Beautiful spotting, Nyssaflutterby! Perhaps you'd like to include this in the Mimetic Animals of the World mission? Here's the link: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8015991
