Apatelodes sp.
Kind of has the face of a cute kitten! Probably Apatelodes Merlona according to Bayucca (thanks!).
I do not know if this pose is a rection upon disturbing and hence a warning pose, but it looks like this.
Thanks! and tell me, is the posture normal to this species? I have seen many pics on the web were they are all having the same pose.
Bombycidae, Apatelodinae or Apatelodidae (depending which taxonomic tree you use), Apatelodes sp.. Unfortunately there are many species found in Costa Rica and many on the wb are not trusted IDed. My closest guess would be Apatelodes merlona.
