The Poplar Kitten (Furcula cinerea) is a small, pale gray prominent moth speckled with darker marks resembling lichen-covered bark. At rest it hunches in a characteristic posture that amplifies its camouflage against tree trunks. The caterpillar is green with a reddish dorsal patch and twin tail filaments it raises when threatened.
