Snapped this photo on my garage door. Anyone know what this is?! Looks like a leafy, moth-like insect.

I'd like to see one of those in person. That's an actias luna, commonly known as the Luna Moth. Action: Quote \| Ignore User Member Since: 15 février 2012 Comments: 298

Quoting mike1973: I'd like to see one of those in person. That's an actias luna, commonly known as the Luna Moth. Thank you for solving the mystery! I was completely stumped. I'm glad I always have a point and shoot on me. Edit to add: It was one of those "drop your stuff on the ground, stop what you're doing, and capture it" kind of moments!
