When night was finished, in the morning I got an 'aftertaste' - two big beautiful night moths stayed at my room. THey didnt enjoy sun very much, but, more or less, were willing to pose me (not 100% helpful and tractable, but at least they didnt fly away into the blue sky momentarily!) So, I got a few decent shots to share.
I had no idea about iD, but received a helping hand from UK and Germany almost momentarily.
So, the 1st one is Staurophora celsia - thanks to @faltermann for iD. (Russian name is 'Совка роскошная').
This one had very exclusive, unique, delicate pastel-fistachio-green coat.
Cya, my amazing guest! Will I see one day another one like you? Nobody knows!
My second guest maybe was less fancy in terms of his outlook, but still very nice. I spent 60 mins trying to find iDs for both, but unsuccessful... there are so many species out there!
upd. the 2nd one is Frosted Orange (Gortyna flavago), a huge thanks goes to @dannewton for correct iD! you may find intresting his story about Creating a Moth Trap for massive local area moth explorations.
