Eacles imperialis
Cool moth I saw on a tree. Looks just like the leaves around it.
The density of the brownish spots suggest whether is is a male or female.
THe markings on your Imperial Moth look quite different from the one I found...so at first I thought it was a different species. Scroll down on the Wikipedia link to see the numerous variations of patterns! Really neat moth!
please consider adding this spot to my mission, Insects of tn: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/1153...
:) thanks. I wouldn't have seen it if it hadn't been shuffling around on the tree. There were leaves all around that were exactly the same color
