Bird Poop Moth

Deciduous forests, woodlands, gardens, and shrubby areas across North America

Larvae feed on leaves of grapevine, Virginia creeper, and peppervine; adults feed on flower nectar.

Night-flying; during the day, it rests on leaves with its wings folded in a way that mimics a bird dropping to avoid predation by birds.

No physical risk to humans; benefits the ecosystem as a pollinator and a food source for other animals.
