I found this moth attached to a tree in my backyard. Perfectly camoflaged.

Hi. I believe this name should be Looper not Lopper. It comes from a family of Looper moths and is an obvious 'typo' that is getting out of control on the internet.
That is amazing.
Incredible!
ohh,, great,
Way to spot this one!!
Beautiful moth! :)
Glad you spotted it. Awesome photo!
Wow! nice
Nice catch.

It sure knows how to "vanish" :) Really cool picture!
Thanks Blogie, have added it to that mission!

Perhaps you'd like to include this in the Mimetic Animals of the World mission? Here's the link: http://www.projectnoah.org/missions/8015...
