Newly-eclosed Lappet moth mimicking a dead leaf. This beautiful moth emerged 10 days after the caterpillar at http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/225... spun its cocoon.
Urban garden.
Probably an Estigena (Gastropacha) sp. (Lasiocampidae; Pinarinae)

Withered leaf comes alive.
I have the cocoon too at http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/241... ,Leuba. Thank you for your comment! :)
Leana, you must be so pleased with this spotting and to see the whole process - well done ! and thanks for the great pics.
You've got both the caterpillar & moth to help with the ID. I hope someone is able to assist.
