Lappet Moth

Gastropacha pardale ??

Description:

Great mimic of dead leaf. So confident that it rarely flies off when approached. Came in through the window at night. About 40mm long with a snout that resembles the stem of a leaf. In the first photo the nocturnal eyes are reflecting light.

Habitat:

Spotted inside my home.

Notes:

Confirmation of the ID will be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
