A close-up photograph of a moth identified as Singara diversalis resting on a white, textured surface. The moth’s wings are spread flat, forming a triangular shape. Its wings are predominantly orange-brown with irregular, darker brown patches and mottled patterns, giving a marbled appearance. The body is short and stout, matching the orange-brown color of the wings. The moth’s head is small with short, slightly visible antennae. The detailed wing patterns and coloration provide camouflage against natural backgrounds like bark or leaves.
