Moth

Description:

Brown bark patterned moth that holds its abdomen up over the head when at rest. It also landed on the wall with the wings together (last picture) and with the abdomen curled. It tends to just drop to the ground when touched and let me spread it's wings to show the colors. A very tame and sweet moth.

Habitat:

Came to an ultraviolet light in the garden, San Cristobal de Las Casas, 2,200 meters.
