Bird-dropping Moth

Acontia nivipicta

Description:

This moth mimics bird dropping. It did not move even with our very close watching. It flied away only when we used a small stick to disturb it.

No problem, Christiane, though I think this is Acontiinae sp., I do not think it is Acontia nivipicta:
