A Moth

This little creature measures about 1 inch long. Its coloration is a pattern designed around the branches and trunks of trees, a brownish tree branch pattern. It’s camouflaged so that it can hide from its predators. They won’t sting you. They are attracted to the lights around your home at night time. If you squish them, they can be kind of messy. They are food for some birds. Despite being somewhat of a bug or an insect they are really more like butterflies, a rather beautiful creature.
