this could go in the mimetic animal mission; it looks so much like a leaf.

What a crazy looking moth! Reminds me of a lanternfly, but with scaly wings!

Lasiocampidae/Lappet Moths, Gastropacha sp. I would say. This moth has a very typical and special pose... About the genus and species I am not 100% sure.
