Lesser Grapevine Looper Moth - Eulithis diversilineata
This moth positions itself upside down and then flips its abdomen raised above its wings. It was about 30 mm long. It had pale orange forewings that were crossed by fine brown lines. The inner median are was tinted lilac/brownish. The midpoint of the postmedian line forms a long, outward pointing spike. In this photo, it's actually positioned upright - a sight I rarely see!
Habitat: Attracted to a 365 nm tube black light in a semi-rural area.
