Female on the left, male on the right. This moth is common, but it is the first time I have seen them mating to show the sexual dimorphism, female 2 cm long. Family Noctuidae.
Came to an ultraviolet light in the garden, San Cristobal de Las Casas, 2,200 meters.

I never imagined moths were very interested in mating :) I thought it would ruffle their wings. Well, you learn something every day...
