Here is a moth wearing full camouflage but is obviously having a rest on the wrong tree as we cam see it so clearly.

Anybody know what sort of moth this is?

Oh my he's beautiful, love those markings and don't know what kind he is. Perfect pattern that matches between the wings. You sure have a keen eye and outstanding shot

This is one lost secret agent !
One of those least skilful...
LOL
Absolutely hopeless agent and sweet object for photographers though.

It's quite colorful, Caruso. I think it is the tree that has changed its spots to expose the moth.

It is called a Magpie moth :)
or Abraxas grossulariata if you want to be really clever :)

Nice shot !

My thanks to all who leave comments for my work and to those of you who like one enough to make it a favourite. To touch just one person that way makes each image worthwhile. . . . . . . . . .. . . . "The question is not what you look at, but what you see" ~ Marcel Proust

That tree as background gives the moth some extra clarity Steve. Nice find and capture.
