Classic camouflage!
I remember commenting on a similar image on Flickr today. I also remember the name Andreas Kay.
The image title or header 'master of disguise' is not very appropriate. It is better written as 'Hawk moth', then the description box is suitable for your observation or opinion about the subject.
And if you're unsure of the accurate nomenclature, check the ID suggestion box.
