A sort of wing illusion.... - Euthyatira lorata

Soquel, Santa Cruz County, California, USA

This is not a typical photo, but I posted it because it is how it this moth looks at a distance. If you see typical macro style shots it does not really capture how the wings looked like they are scalloped. Cool camouflage!
