large dead leaf looking moth? - Eacles imperialis - Female
Fort Meade, Anne Arundrel County, Maryland, USA
July 22, 2009
Size: large, 2.5"long 4" wing?
this was sitting on my plant stand just outside my door all day. it's like a fuzzy little leaf, ok not really little. really it is the biggest one I have ever seen.....
in this one the measuring tape looks odd, but it is actually sitting on the bar where his/her legs are attached...
