What is this insect that looks sort of like a leaf?
Response by poster: Also, this was somewhere in Georgia (United States), if it matters.

Best answer: I live in Georgia and in a heavily forested area and these are pretty common around my house in the spring. they are indeed Luna Moths; for a bit of additional trivia they are a type of wild silk moth.
