Apparently Nate can see enough detail. ( It does look better on a big screen.)

abread111 it is well camouflaged, however once you've got, it it will jump in your eyes, so to say, whenever you look at the photo. Sometimes I wonder whether the Rain moths which leave behind large hollows after they emerge from the ground, provide residences for critters like the wolf spiders; there were quite a number of Hepialidae moths emerging in the area again this autumn.
