#sadunderwing

This is the 8th Part of my series 'Since I've Been Gone'. On the same day as the previous post, I found moth known as a sad underwing (Catocala maestosa) as it's camouflaged against tree bark. The adults show themselves during July-October, so I was just in time to see it. The Coppell Nature Park is an ideal place for them given that their larva feed on pecan trees. #animal #animals #nature #insect #insects #mothsandbutterflies #moth #moths #cryptic #texasinsects #texasmoth #wildlife #texaswildlife #txwildlife #texasanimals #sadunderwing #catocalamaestosa #catocala #noctuoidae #erebidae #bigmoth #lepidoptera (at Coppell Nature Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTnilOps_xH/?utm_medium=tumblr
