Moth larva found hanging from silk. Thought it was a piece of plant stem until I looked closer.
The caterpillar is just under two inches when stretched out.
Last instar Plagodis acoolaria are said to be one of the most successful stem mimics.
Two images, one hanging and one from the side.

Thanks fro the comment CathyAnn. For me in Nacro and close-up, detail comes first, composition second.
