Yesterday, the girls noticed this guy sitting on our front screen. He is a quite large moth - about an inch and a half wide. His underside shows a bit of orange, which flashed brightly when he flew. His topside, however...
was designed to help him blend in with tree bark (I converted it to black and white because I think the detail is clearer - he was in shades of tan, grey, and charcoal).
When he flew, he was very noisy. You could hear his wings beating with almost a humming noise. He wasn't at all quiet and airy like say...a butterfly.
nice camo, little moth.
