Amazing camouflage of a leaf-like moth. Uropyia meticulodina is a species of moth native to eastern Asia (Taiwan, China, Japan). This moth may look like a curled-up dead leaf when it takes steps to evade detection, but its wings are as straight as those of any moth. Specialized minute scales on its wings called setae are responsible for creating this optical illusion. Posted byu/KimCureAll Reddit
