I thought this little critter was a bit strange looking even for a moth.

That critter could easily camouflage into leaves or a tree trunk~too cool!

huge mothra person..ha ha not really burt a camouflager I bet..sk
What a shot. Moths aren't the esaiest creatures to get. Well done.
Thats a great moth for sure and well out of its comfort zone there. should be hiding in the trees for sure.. maybe it was warming its body up ready for a night or eating and mating...
Very odd .. I wonder what sort of moth it is .. Husband's daughter lives in TX and she took a series of shot of an odd looking moth .. they submitted the photos to a website calledhttp://www.whatsthatbug.com/
of course now I cant remember what they told her!

I sure hope that is a super size blow up of that moth! He's certainly interesting looking.
I'm a comfort food person and the mac and cheese sounds delish!
I would never have thought of cream cheese in the recipe but it seems to make perfect sense THANKS.
Thanks for the Mac and Cheese recipe! I've never seen such a "moth." :)
WHOAAA!!!! Some critter! This could become a comic book villain or a costume for a bad guy in some movie like Star Wars. Totally out of this world!
You make your mac and cheese with cream cheese and good Dijon mustard like I do. :-) I skip the flour though, and I never found it to make a difference with all the cheese. I've never added parsley. I'll bet it makes a nice difference. I just found parsley and cilantro in the last bag of spring salad I bought and I loved it. It made a great difference. Thanks for the idea. I will try it next time. :-)
Hi sharon, Critter n cheese.haha.
love this post great, and your moth was beautiful.
pop and see my CC at Beamish Musium.
My family loves Mac and Cheese.
That is an awesome photo! The detail is amazing! You are right - that is one interesting (and major cool) critter. LOVE this!
I've been dying to make some homemade mac and cheese. Maybe I can tackle this one. It sounds so good.
Great details, good camouflage on tree bark I would think.
Great photo
