Not what you would call beautiful but you can see the amazing design on the wings!

@maggiemae A lot of — indeed, I would tend to say "most" — moths are not particularly beautiful. See my moth posts, https://365project.org/tags/tmmoths
But there is the Luna Moth, https://365project.org/rhoing/365/2012-05-07
the Polyphemus moth, https://365project.org/rhoing/365/2015-06-10
the Virginian Tiger Moth, https://365project.org/rhoing/365/2014-08-16
and the Clymene Moth, https://365project.org/rhoing/365/2019-06-29 which is beautiful in its own way!
