Zale Lunata
Incredibly camouflaged to mimic both the texture and color of many types of tree bark. Colors included various shades of brown, charcoal, white and black. The left front leg had white bands across it. Medium in size, maybe? Its wing span was wider than a half dollar, I'd say. My first instinct is a species of owlet moth based on its shape and coloration.
Mixed forest. Though the location option keeps plugging in Cullowhee as the area where I found this moth, it was actually at Haw River State Park outside of Greensboro, NC.
