Pretty cool find today! Drexel's Datana Moth (datana drexelii) viewed from the front. Have to thank my sister *ShiningMoon for spotting it. Absolutely incredible camouflage, makes it look like a dead leaf. Had to curve and manipulate the leaf to bring her head into view as her standard position [link] was much more stealthy. Here's a wider shot to help you appreciate the camouflage. Which is the moth and which is the dead leaf? lol [link]

Please tell me what you think! :dance:
