Boxwood Leaftier Moth - Galasa nigrinodis
Norris City, White County, Illinois, USA
August 11, 2007
Size: 3/8 in. long
I was wondering if this was a Moth or not. It looks like one, but it's stance was much different than any I've ever seen. It stood up on it's curved legs, well off the surface of where it was sitting. I'm guessing it's some kind of Moth, but not sure which.
