Note: Much larger version of the above collage HERE so you can see the detail.
These are a bunch of shots of Uropyia meticulodina, a species of moth from southeast Asia that looks identical to a dead, dried leaf. Like the X-Men *putting on cool guy shades* it’s uncanny. “Take those off.” I can’t, I have eye lasers like Cyclops. Still, these dead leaf moths — evolution, am I right? “What about it?” I want twice as many fingers and a tail.
Keep going for a shot of one of the moths in a museum collection for reference.
