A Bag-shelter Moth (Ochrogaster lunifer) clinging for dear life onto a sliding metal door rail, hanging precipitously above a 1 inch drop to the decking far below.

So hairy!

Closeup of a small, incredibly furry brown and white moth, which we are looking downward on from above and to the side. Its head is completely covered in long, sticky-out hair. This hair also covers the upper parts of its legs. Smaller hairs then take over, covered its lower legs and even its wings. The moth clings onto the metal rail of a sliding door with three of its legs
