This moth, 1 cm long, folds its wings at rest in a wrinkled pattern to break up the typical moth shape on bark. This allows it to protect itself better from predators. The labial palps are elongated and have a little flag on the end. Family Herminiidae.
Came to an ultraviolet light in the garden, San Cristobal de Las Casas, 2,200 meters.
