Moth with 2 flies on it's wings - Drepanidae - Macrocilix maia

The pattern looks like 2 flies approaching some bird dung. As my friend have highlighted, we notice that there's a bad smell emitted by this moth. This is really an interesting moth trying to fool it's predators by both sight and smell.
