Description

Hi everyone, This moth was on the ground outside of my brothers house today. I coaxed it onto my hand and took several photos. Hope you like this. Thanks for the view and comments. Best to all -GB- A close look shows a mosquito biting my hand as well

Great camouflage on that moth...easily passes for a leaf. A mosquito must bite the hand that feeds it:-)

Fantastic! Wonderful presentation and you sweated blood for these, besides. It's a Luna Moth. I've never seen one, but looked it up.

He obviously likes you! I thought it was a Luna although I've never had the pleasure of seeing one.
