That is a neat one! There is a whole group of Bird dropping moths. At our old Commiefrnia ranch, we had the Yerba Santa Bird dropping moth but the one you've pictured is much more ornate. Guess looking like sh*t is a good camouflage...Mel

Like, is head in from or is that the rear? Google is my friend. Looks like another name for it is "beautiful wood nymph"

I can't see it either. Googled "beautiful wood nymph", too.

Not beautiful!! More like bird droppings.

Interesting camouflage.
