The Tissue Moth is a small, fluffy insect that loves to hide in trees and bushes. Its soft, brown wings help it blend in with nature, making it a little tricky to spot!
Hábitat: Forests
The Tissue Moth has delicate, papery wings, typically pale grey-brown to reddish-brown, often marked with darker wavy lines or bands. Its hind wings have a noticeably wavy or scalloped edge. These patterns provide excellent camouflage against tree bark.
