I found this leaf mimic moth in my garage a couple of days ago (2008-11-29). On a tree, it would have been practically invisible, but on the white walls of my garage it stuck out like A Thinkpad in an Apple store.

Tentatively, it has been ID’d as 6981 - Prochoerodes forfocaria, though I’m not absolutely certain of that.
