Crambid Snout Moth

Culladia sp.

Description:

At first I thought it was a stick, then I saw it fly, and then the legs. The second pic will give you an idea of the actual size. The adult moth is pale brown with dark orange brown v-shaped markings on forewings. The "snout" is long. It rests with head down and tail up, and front legs outstretched. Length: 15mm

Habitat:

Seen on a Lantana plant in my garden.

Notes:

Thanks to Roger Kendrick for the ID.
