That looks so cool! It's.amazing how much camouflage insects can have, and how useful it is to them.
Thanks Johan. Your reference is very helpful, but agree that view of antennae would have helped towards positive ID
Looks like an Emerald Moth (Comostolopis germana), but need a clearer photo to be sure. The antenna should be feather like. http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/105...
