Saw this awesome little guy on the sidewalk and almost stepped on him because of his camouflage. so glad I didn't! I've never seen one before and I think its a leopard moth. if you look closely, some of his spots are a beautiful royal blue instead of black :) (Piedmont North Carolina).

I used Google Lens. never used it much when I first learned about it, but once one of my friends pointed out it could identify plants, animals, all kinds of stuff, I've been using it on my adventures to identify all kinds of stuff. If you're way out and don't have service you can even use it on photos to take later when you get home!
