Two strange moth species found in Russia - Science

Two strange moth species found in Russia - Science: "Two new species of previously unknown moths have been discovered in the Russian Far East, northeast of Mongolia. The insects strike a unique pose when resting, sticking their hind section into the air and extending their antennae forward onto the ground, or the surface of a leaf, according to a new study describing the animals.
As larvae, the moths form strange, cradlelike cocoons from leaves before hatching."
