The head is on the north-side. And the tail, forked, is on the south-side.

Fantastic find and beautiful! Love it's legs and the snail-like abdomen mimicry.

Brilliant creature and a beautiful shot. Looks like it has a wiggle response to mimic a slug.

WOW at a distance you wouldn't know it was a moth. Great camouflage!
