This little moth disguises itself by taking on the appearance of Bird Droppings, lol. I am always amazed at how critters have adapted physically to help camouflage themselves for survival.
Thanks to those who take the time to comment.

I think I have seen these but very seldom. both are superb macros
I'd hate to live my life looking like poop. :-( But you even make replica poop look good. Astounding shot.
nice collage...
Amazing! amongst the many creatures that use this ploy we have a tiny weevil that I would never have noticed if it hadn't made a move whilst I was pondering who made such tiny droppings! I haven't yet got a decent shot though.
...hervorragende Fotoarbeit!
The photos are super. I found one of these six years ago...thought how unique the coloring was. Great set of shots
great shots
Great macro
A great mimic Lee, even down to the texture tuft on the head, amazing. I know the Lily Beetle's eggs are disguised similar to this, I have a shot of it somewhere, but a whole Moth thats something else. Couple of excellent shots. Bravo!!!!!
Cool!
Superb! What a wonderful adaptation. Bunny
Really looks like things bird drops.
Exellent!
Nature is so smart :) It's just so amazing ........
Great pic and curious this moth. You are so lucky to catch all this type of insects. Hugs
Amazing!
