This little moth of about 1 cm in length is a contortionist! When it lands it twists its wings upside-down and backwards. This must help break up the classic "moth shape" which means food to a bird. The upper wings are beautiful with orange, brown and silver.
Came to an ultraviolet light in the garden, San Cristobal de Las Casas, 2,200 meters.
