bird dropping moth?
I thought you might be able to help me identify this moth. My limited research leads me to suspect that it is a looper moth? I photographed it on my back deck located in lower south-western South Carolina. Thanks for your help.

Hi Heather,
The Pearly Wood Nymph, Eudryas unio, really does resemble bird droppings.
