This is one of the cutest little moths I've ever seen. Only from the top can you see the long thick maxillary palpi, hidden in all that hair, which curl up over the head and down the thorax (picture 2). About 1 cm in length with thick hair all over the head, thorax and underside. It has excellent camouflage coloration.
