Or possibly another poo mimic. This looks along the lines of Ioptera but I'm not confident as I can't see little crests behind the head.

Description

This one was by far the most interesting of all the moths I uploaded in this bunch. It was running around, in daylight on a trunk amongst a stack of ants. I couldn't get decent photos due to the speed, and size. I also can't find an ID. I thought it would be easy with the eye spot wing flange. These lead me to Tineidae.
