Drinker Moth

A very unique moth from the family Lasiocampidae. It is mostly brown in colour with grey patches forming slight wavy patterns on its wings, facilitating its camouflage as a dry leaf clinging to a plant. Hairs on its upper body are as thick as bristles. Well-concealed beneath those cryptic wings is an abdomen banded with colours of black and yellow which it brandishes in an alarming fashion to dazzle predators, a secondary defence.
On the fore area are two distinct white spot (false eyes). The real eyes must have been hidden under the shield formed over the head unto the wings behind. No sign of antennae- they were neatly tucked under the wings from the head. It was spotted in hibernation.
