This is a strange wild green and yellow leaf moth.
Its strange thing is the long brown spot on the hind edge of the upper wing, much like a strange face.
On this day, I went to Xibahe Village in Yishui Town, Nanyang County, Shaanxi Province. The purpose of my trip was to go wild fishing in the stream. Who knows, the fish did not see, but I first saw this wild green and yellow leaf moth.
The green and yellow leaf moth that perches on the trunk of the tree has markings that resemble the face of a man with closed eyes and a large beard
It perches quietly on the trunk of a large tree. It is medium to large, with broad wings and shorter hindwings, exposed on the left and right sides. Apparently, this yellow leaf moth is sleeping, because this moth usually appears at night.
I carefully observed the green and yellow leaf moth.
It has a long brown spot on the posterior edge of its upper wing. The pattern of the stripes looks very strange, like the face of a man with closed eyes and a big beard. Obviously, this is a female green-yellow leaf moth, because the male green-yellow leaf moth has no brown spots on the posterior edge of the upper wing.
I hurriedly pulled out my phone and began to take pictures of the yellow leaf moth.
At this moment, the green and yellow dead leaf moth that was perching on the trunk of the tree seemed to have been disturbed by my good dreams, and it spread its wings and began to fly up and down, and finally landed in the vegetable field not far away.
I was overjoyed and hurried toward the vegetable patch.
Under my feet, one foot deep and one foot shallow.
I sweated profusely and came to the vegetable patch.
In the vegetable field, the green and yellow leaf moth is resting on a pepper tree.

Holding my breath, I crept up behind the green leaf moth and quietly took a picture.
Who knows, I just "clicked, clicked" two pictures, the green and yellow dead leaf moth flew up again, one will land on the pumpkin leaf, one will fall on the grass, and finally fly to a wall in the distance.

The green and yellow dead leaf moth that rested on the leaf of the vegetable was very similar to a strange face at this time
I was reluctant.
I stared at the dead leaf moth in the distance and hurried toward it.
Fortunately, it did not continue to take off.
Just as I was taking pictures of the yellow leaf moth on the wall, a large black dog suddenly jumped out of the wall and began to bark at me.
I hurriedly bent down, quickly picked up a large rock, and began to confront the big black dog. At this moment, an old man hurried out of the wall, carrying a hoe in his hand.
I smiled and explained to the old man.
The old man looked suspiciously at the green and yellow dead leaf moth on the wall, looked at me again, and then followed my footprints to the vegetable field.

In the vegetable field, there are two pepper trees that I have stepped on.
The old man looked at me breathlessly.
When I saw the situation, I hurriedly took out 10 yuan of money, smiled and explained, and handed the money to the old man.
The old man did not reach out for the money.
I forced a smile as I walked toward the river.
Behind me, the big black dog was still barking at me.
Behind the big black dog, the old man still stared at me suspiciously.
On the wall behind the old master, the green and yellow dead leaf moth was probably secretly laughing.
