Looks like bits of broken twigs, doesn't it? Actually, this is a Buff Tipped Moth! It uses it's camouflage very well.
The Buff-tip is one
of the most recognizable moth species in the British Isles. It is found
throughout Europe and in Asia to eastern Siberia. This moth flies at
night in June and July.

Buff-tipped moth on barky throne,
Wears a twig as
camouflage grown.
Twilight hush, it takes to flight—
A whisper cloaked in woodland light.
* Of course all my photos are from the web.
