The wingspan of the posturing arta moth is about 15 mm and they rest with their hindwings tucked behind their forewings.[3] The forewings are varying shades of brown and the shades are separated by thin, pale lines. Their yellow-brown antennae are most often positioned lying flat behind the head and over the wings when resting.[4]
