Second chances rarely happen, but this time I was lucky. Two days later I found him on the garage wall at just the right height for me to get the shot I wanted without having to do any uncomfortable contortions.
It was only later, when looking at the photo, that I noticed how much his wings resemble a curled-up leaf.
It's nearly two years since I took this photo and I've never seen another moth quite like him. Perhaps I never will.
Linking up to Saturday's Critters.
Hello, it is a pretty moth. Great photo! I usually have trouble taking photos of butterflies and moths, they do not stay still long enough. Thank you for linking up and sharing your post. Wishing you a happy weekend!
ReplyDeleteThanks Eileen. I usually have trouble with moths and butterflies too, but this one wasn't very active at the time. I wish that would happen more often.
DeleteGood camouflage. - Margy
ReplyDeleteIt certainly would be when it's out in nature. Not so helpful when it stops on a painted wall though!
DeleteBeautiful moth! What incredible patterning!
ReplyDeleteThat pattern is most unusual. At least in my experience.
