DSC04636 "maple spanworm"

At first I thought it was a leaf caught in a spider web.

I did a Google Image search for "brown moth that looks like a leaf" and got Prochoerodes lineola, with an image that looked very much like this one! https://bugguide.net/node/view/949132

This is an incredible moth! Can’t wait to hear what it’s name is. V
