A damn purty one

from the anntennea (SP?) i'd say its a moth.... We have them here in Memphis too... It's camo'd to look like either a leaf, or maybe a snake (given the eye-dots)...

Either way... its built to blend...

Wow... what a life? 7 days with no mouth (thus no food) and your only goal is to mate.... then, you die.
