Dry dead leave?

This thing stuck on the stucco wall of our house and I was about to brush it off. Then I realized it's actually a moth.
If you just look at the thumbnail of this image, you will know what I meant.

In the thumbnail I thought it was a dried up fallen leaf. As it is, it's a fascinating close up. Nicely done.
