Violet Gliding Hawk #Moth (Ambulyx liturata, Sphingidae) snap frozen by an Akanthomyces fungus, a #Cordyceps anamorph peculiar to moths & spiders.
The #fungus totally engulfs & embalms the corpse.

Scranciid Moth Caterpillar, unidentified
Scranciidae, a new family of moths (published Nov, 2023) https://t.co/QLPtqTFLqr
Ambiguous ends, but hind limbs adapted into rotors (antennae), suggestive markings, extreme defensive posture and I see an ovipositing parasitoid wasp...
