Moccasin Lake, Winston, Douglas County, Georgia, USA

Size: about 40 mm
Strange looking moth, almost like a dead leaf with rear end in an upward pointing posture. I found the pattern on this moth to be much more pronounced than the ones I could find in Guide. Also, notice the serrated pattern near the wing tips.
