Wavy-lined emerald moth (Synchlora aerata), #7058

Larose Forest

Another moth to refute the idea that all moths are little brown jobs. The caterpillar of this one is extraordinary. It decorates itself with pieces of flowers to hide itself from predators when feeding https://pbase.com/laroseforest/image/156680517 The caterpillar is called the Camouflaged Looper.
