Default PHOTO OF THE WEEK, Pearly Wood Nymph

I think this might be Beautiful Wood Nymph (Eudryas grata).

This strange apparition was found hanging on the glass of the back door a
few nights ago.

When the wings are spread for flight, it looks like lots of other moths
but when folded up for rest, it well deserves it's unofficial common name,
"Bird Poop Moth".
