Can you spot the critter hidden on the side of this tree? This is a natural light photo and under the forest canopy it really was dark as shown here.

Moth!
I bet someone’s gonna go into families and all sorts but that won’t be me!
Yep!
I see the moth (or is it a cracker butterfly?). Is there something else. At any rate, that’s a beauty, with the eyespots and crypsis. (I’ve always wondered if the two aren’t at odds, in terms of predator avoidance.)
Nope, nothing else but the moth (that I’m aware of!).
This is an easy one~ a moth headed downward at the upper left of the pic.
I wonder what does it look like when the wings are open ?
I didn’t get to see it with its wings spread. I spooked it off before I got all the shots I really wanted.
