Yes
they're quite the contortionists and like you to participate in their agony. I love their "let it all hang out there, ain't I pretty stance."

They definitely
like to torture us. This was my first time to see this species; I hope I see it lower down and facing me next time. I had to turn backwards and look up at a 90 degree angle while crouching down. Aaagggg! And thanks for the ID! Pretty moth.

I'm not sure if this area is part of "Little Egypt". My cousin worked at the Daily Egyptian in Carbondale, but I honestly don't know where that is. I'm also afraid to admit that I don't live there, just my grandparents and cousins. I sure would like to though! Unfortunately I'm stuck in Houston...
