Wedgling Moth (Galgula partita), taken April 4, 2025, in Georgia, US

A small moth hidden in the leaves! This guy was super skittish, and I spent a couple minutes just chasing him around before I was able to get any pictures. More skittish flying insects like moths and grasshoppers have to be approached a certain way to minimize the chances of them fleeing, and that requires knowing exactly where they are before you get in startle range. Sometimes I have to purposefully make a moth or grasshopper fly a couple times before I finally see where they land and can approach correctly. This guy was a little difficult, but not the worst I've had to deal with!
