Beautiful garden visitor

Earlier this week, as I was tying up my cucumber plants, I nearly toppled from my precarious perch right into this beautiful resting moth:









Fortunately, I didn't fall, and I also managed to avoid disturbing my visitor's rest while snapping these shots!

I had to squint a bit at the first pic to see anything but wow! It's so pretty *A*

First I noticed the twirly taper-y bits, which seemed unusual for a cucumber leaf; then my brain registered the strong black bar, and then the rest came into focus...

My first thought was, "Why does this leaf have a moustache?"
