Used inaturalist service for the first time, to share my wildnature observations - the beauty of this nocturnal moth just demanded that from me, hehe.

Luckily, I encountered it during the daylight - lighting was good (with no harsh direct sunlight). The moth was sitting quietly at same spot during several hours and posed me very well.
