Yet another astonishing specimen from nature, a master of camouflage, so surreal that it almost resembles a dried leaf. This particular one was pretty patient and was not very much bothered by my camera nor the flash and could manage to get some decent shots. This particular one was a bit oddly framed, while I was the closest to the beauty(almost a full framed shot), but loved the details that I could manage

EXIF:
Canon 550D
Canon 100mm macro
F/13
Shutterspeed 1/125
ISO 400
External flash fired, Handheld

Location: Dahisar

Interesting. Looks like a oakleaf moth, but the shape is a bit different, so not sure. Experts please help with the id. Nice details. Thanks for sharing.

One of the experts mentioned it to be Lappet moth
