Tulip Tree Beauty

This large moth in the Geometridae Family is nocturnal and attracted to lights which may be why he came to my terrace sliding door and was on the insect screen when I went to prepare breakfast one morning last week. While writing this at about noon on the same day, he was still on the screen and I don’t know if he is sleeping there or dead. In my gallery at Tulip Tree Beauty, Epimecis hortaria, you can see that I got two shots on the screen, the lighter one was on my Canon 750D with more detail and the darker one was on my Samsung Cellphone which is more the color brown that my eyes saw. The third photo in the gallery is the same species that I photographed back in July 2016, also on my terrace, and is the best photo! 🙂 Here’s just one of this year’s photos with the other one (Canon) at top as the featured photo . . .
