I thought it was a leaf stuck on my wall.

Nope...It was Alive!

Lordy! That looks like the moth from hell. Never have seen one of those before.

Amazing pic. Thanks for sharing. That baby would be hard to see against the bark of a tree.

It’s from the family of the Moth’s in the Silence of the Lambs movie.

They are about 2.5”-3” long and wide. It was a big bug and they are native to North America.

That is one wild and crazy looking moth. I would steer clear of him.

Its probably from California they have some crazy things out there. Right Tom

Looks kind of like a stealth fighter.

That was my first thought when I saw it. Maybe not Batman himself but at first glance I thought the markings on the body where the wings join was the face of a bat. Ugly and beautiful at the same time.

I had a similar one at my house two times last year. It was about 3” across the wings. Very cool bugs!

That looks like that thing Schwarzenegger tangled with in that Predator movie. " You're one ugly M..."
