Once-married underwing moth (Catocala unijuga), #8805

Rockcliffe Park

A Catocala moth rests on the bark of a pine tree, blending in with the bark. Many moths rest against tree trunks during the day, well concealed from predators.

Great camouflage for the moth. You have a good eye to catch its presence.
