And yet another one. In my research I found mention to a Eudocima serpentifera, that can be found in my area, but I couldn't find any photos. Do you know where I can find them?

Pose speaks for Geometridae, but I am not sure about it. Might also be a Noctuidae. Reminds me of a Catocalinae, some kind of a fruit piercing moth (which are however mostly known from the Indopacific area). So, please, follow both, Geometridae and Noctuidae.

Great shot.
I'm guessing family: Geometridae.
