The moth vibrated its wings briefly, and the took off. I ran after it. It landed in my Black Olive Tree.
I guess the camera flash bugged it, because it took off again and landed on this drought damaged grass. Check out that face!

Here I left the moth in peace to continue sleeping the day away. I wonder what it lays eggs on? I'll look that up later and look for caterpillars.

This site has photos of the beautiful caterpillars that become this moth. I'm still looking for one to take a picture of to put here.
