Nice spotting! That is a beautiful moth that I have been studying for a long time. The camouflage on their wings is unbelievable.
Wow I really love the comparison - shows the moth's amazing camouflage.
Wow what a beautifully colored moth!
Some kind of cattail maybe?
Wow what a beautiful moth!
Thanks for the ID! Glad to finally figure out what this guy is.
Thanks! Yes it is a beautiful plant. Really unique.
No this is not an adult. There were several small mantises right by a set of eggs, so it appeared that they had just hatched. I do not know the ID so I am going with Kris Anderson's suggestion because it looks like he knows what he's talking about.
