Moth Seeks out large dark wood knot to sit over 


Amazing Insect Camouflage - This Moth - probably one of the 100's of varieties of "fungus moths" has adapted to live around wood decks near artificial nighttime light sources in the Smoky Mountains of North Carolina. It clearly "chooses" the best spot over a dark knot where there is an overhang to blend in and avoid predators and the daytime sun. Their camouflage efforts would be more effective on a tree, but since these moths have adapted to life on or near wood decks they choose the best "spots". Amazing!
