Celery Looper Moth
Anagrapha falcifera

Observation date: August 27, 2014
Submitted by: KGjerdset
Specimen type: Photograph
Observation notes: I found the moth sitting on on of my plants in the backyard, very early in the morning. At first glance, it appeared as just a dried leaf remnant but upon closer inspection I realized it was an animal. It was the first time I had seen one. It did not move, until I lightly touched it with my finger to see if it was alive, then it flew away as a moth.
