Great pic!
Thank you, Peter!
Where? Cool moth.
I live in MA, they are apparently quite common. When they look like this, you know a bit about what their host is.
Fun and amazing find! On your deck?
It was a fun surprise on my front porch. They are attracted to night lights and then roost during the day.
Terrific! Looks like a lovely piece of leather.
🙂 Thanks, Laurie.
Whoa! How much cooler can you get! What a shot, Eliza!! 👏🏼🤗
Thank you, Amy!
That is quite some moth!
It really is…I thought you’d like it!
🙂
Great find. looks like an autumn leaf
Thanks, Mike. Perfect camouflage this time of year, eh?
Ohhh, what a beauty:-)
Indeed, thank you!
What an interesting find!
Thank you, Belinda. Nature always amazes!
I was amazed by your moth find! Thanks for sharing!
Thank you for your visit!
My (great) pleasure 🙂
Wow, it looks quite large. Is it the size of an open hand to little finger?
Maybe 3″
Wow! I thought that was a leaf at first. If I’ve ever seen one, I wouldn’t know it. Great catch, Eliza. And very cool. 🙂
Thank you, Robin. 🙂 If it wasn’t against the white, I don’t think would have noticed it!
Great capture!!
Thank you, Val!
That moth had me fooled for a moment!
If it was anywhere but the house siding, I would have missed it.
It probably thinks we can not see it.
I would assume so – I was quite close when I took the picture.
Looks exactly like a leaf! Great capture.
Thank you, Karen!
I wonder where it tucked it’s antennes?
All down under, that’s part of the camouflage! 😉
I had to look twice at this one 🙂
Pretty amazing, isn’t it? Nature is astounding.
Wow, I thought it was a leaf at first glance, too! Amazing!
Yes, it was. Thanks for your visit, Joanna. 🙂
So so lucky to have found this! Really a wonderful find.
Definitely, though I guess you could say it found us by landing on the front porch. 🙂 Quite a stunning creature.
I don’t think I have every seen on of these…with good reason. Nice find, Eliza!
Thank you!
Amazing picture. First look is a leaf but moth!❤️
Amazing – at first glance, I though it was a leaf!
Me, too! If it wasn’t against the house, we might not have noticed it.
Wow that is brilliant. Where did you find him?
Resting under the porch light.
So cool! If you hadn’t mentioned it wasn’t a leaf, I never would have guessed!
Pretty crazy, huh? 🙂
Amazing!
It really is– Thank you, Kathy!
Intriguing…✨💫
🙂 Thanks, Stormie!
Ah, spanworms! Yours is quite lovely. We had a great outbreak of Bruce spanworms in Alberta and not nearly so attractive. I was surprised to learn that they late-season moths and only appear in late fall. They can fly at or slightly below freezing and only the males have wings. Quite an amazing insect. https://thelensandi.wordpress.com/2017/10/27/out-in-the-cold/
Thank you, Sally. I’d never seen one quite like this before. I can see why – good camo!
That’s an amazing creature, and a very nice photo! I would have walked right by it.
Thank you, Hien. I doubt you would have, you have a very keen eye!
Wait a minute … it’s a leaf, no a moth … with the name of a worm? I learned something new today. Great find especially considering the camouflage!
Thank you, Denise. Another of nature’s great surprises. 🙂
I love these!
Thank you, Maria, glad to hear it!
A garden is always so full of surprises, great that you had your eyes open and headed outside to find it!
Yes, indeed!
