Trachea atriplicis
I'm assuming it's a Noctuid, but I have no idea about what species it might be. About 2 cm long. Edit: A species of moth of the family Noctuidae. It is found in all of Europe, east to the Pacific Ocean and Japan.
The larvae feed on herbaceous plants, such as Atriplex, Polygonum aviculare, Chenopodium and Rumex.
Just found this one in the bathroom, so I gently transported it in my backyard for a photoshoot :) I was awestruck by it's beauty!
