This is a very small (1 cm) Moth with an orange face and dark antennae. They normally have a series of black dots running across the upper wings in a line. The last specimen was spotted on 13 June 2013 in the same place (playing dead), but only has 1 black dot. The underside is all white and very furry. When disturbed, they drop to the ground and feign death.
Limacodidae?

Came to lights in the garden, San Cristobal de Las Casas, 2,200 meters.
