Cryphia algae
Tree-lichen Beauty is a beautiful moth that loves to rest on tree bark. Its wings look like the lichen on trees, helping it hide from predators. This makes it a special friend of the forest!
生息地: Forests
The Tree-lichen Beauty is a small, mottled grey, green, and white moth with wings that strikingly mimic the texture and colour of tree lichen. Its irregular wing patterns and frilly edges help it blend seamlessly with bark. This incredible camouflage makes it almost invisible on lichen-covered trees.
