Datana.
Try the prominent moths of the genus Datana. Great shots.

Thanks Eric!
There are 6 pages of images of this moth, so I think I will go ahead and Frass these.

Please don't.
You can even see the texture of the scales in these images, clearly superior to what other images we have (maybe?). Further, there don't seem to be too many images per SPECIES. Several species are involved here, and someone simply needs to go and sort them. Your images will probably add valuable data points if nothing else, but the different angles help show how distinctive the rolled-wing resting posture is.
