Nice bark abstract ;)

I think it would be safe to guess that this moth belongs to family Geometridae, but they are usually hard to identify to species-level from a photo.

Excellent camo image, fine composition. Moths are much harder to ID than butterflies, there are far too many species. You could try posting at bugguide.net - there are a number of entomologists there who may take a swing at the ID.

Hi

Cool shot of this little chap playing hide and seek – sorry I cannot help out with the ID, but I sure did enjoy the image

All the best
Matthew
