Strange moth

[tanghb]

It really looks like that the front pair of legs are attached to the head, not the thorax.

Can anyone help with its ID. Its length is about 20mm.

Very nice shots Tang.

Shot similar moth before: http://www.flickr.com/photos/orionmystery/3521715295/

Was IDed as Pyralidae, Pyralinae possibly in the genus Sacada by Roger (hkmoths)

Tang,
Great shots of a really strange moth. I like that first photo of this unusual lep.

Thanks Kurt and David.

This morning I went to the same plant where I saw the moth and found that it was already fungified!
