Most moths go to great lengths to blend in with their surrounding, often on a tree trunk during the day, to avoid becoming a meal by a bird. Then they come out at night.
But there is one type of moth in particular that uses an entirely different strategy and hides in plain sight during the day - camouflaging itself as something birds wouldn't dare eat – bird poop.
Although is looks like bird droppings and is often called the “Bird Poop Moth” this moth's real name is the "Beautiful Wood-Nymph" there is also a very similar Pearly Wood Nymph moth. So the next time you see a big pile of fresh looking bird droppings – take a closer look. I was ready to wipe this "moth" off the deck until I notice it had some white hair on it.
