Grape Leaffolder Moth

A Grape Leaffolder was hanging around on my garage door at night, even though it is supposed to be a day-flying species.

This year my property is overrun with wild grapes — nice for anyone who wants to fold grape leaves. It is the behavior of the larva that gives this moth its name.

Better Grape-Leaffolder photos can be found here.


This moth was sharing the garage door with a frog that has suction cups on its feet:

That frog was at the top of the door.

You've got some cute creatures on that garage door there.

I'm glad I have a neurotic dog who insists that I always go outside with him -- while he's doing his business, I'm looking for visitors on the garage door. :)

Dogs have that special talent for making life more interesting.
