Photo of the day. Green.

Got home late.
Looked up at the outside light,
which attracts moths.
And saw this guy.
Too tired to look up a species.

Ohh, pretty moth! It looks like a leaf iterated four times.

Great photo, too.

Oh wow! So pretty. :D

Oh, that is pretty! Our moths are usually so very dull here, all camouflaged like tree bark and the like.

How pretty!

Gorgeous, and doubtless blends into the trees very well. For all butterflies are more showy, I actually really like the subtler colours and often intricate patterns on moths.

I adore that moth. If I saw it, I probably would mistake it for a leaf, at least at first. :)

Oooh, pretty green!

Looks like an inchworm adult. Ours here have leaf-vein patterns across the wings, though.

The color and texture look like a leaf. Very cool!

I found one in my building the other day that was bright white and just beautiful.

My intuitive reaction is to say it's a cabbage moth, even though I know perfectly well that cabbage moths are white. I blame the cabbagey colouring and extreme fatigue.
