Eulithis diversilineata
This moth was truly fantastically weird. It positions itself upside down and then flips its abdomen raised above its wings. It was about 30 mm long. It had pale orange forewings that were crossed by fine brown lines. The inner median are was tinted lilac/brownish. The midpoint of the postmedian line forms a long, outward pointing spike.
Attracted to a light in a rural area.

Thanks @Jim Nelson! @SukanyaDatta, haha - yes! Yoga or gymnastics ;)
Must be doing Yoga!
Weird or not, an interesting posting, Christine!
Yes, very odd. It's been there for three days now. It moves around a bit and chooses a new spot on the wall. But, it always flips back to this position.
What an odd stance...how wonderful.
