Brown Camouflaged Moth with the shape of a jet fighter aircraft - Palthis asopialis
Alexandria , Virginia, USA
October 18, 2020
I was pruning some plants when this moth emerged from the growth. It then dropped back in and landed on a dead leaf. I took a few photos from different angles including a picture from underneath the leaf showing a portion of one of the moth's wings from underneath it and it's feathery antennae.
