Amata phegea or Syntomis phegea
Neat! I haven't seen many pictures from Hungary before, keep them coming!
Yes its Nine spotted moth. Very close to Wasp moths.
Ok I found it! It's called Nine-spotted moth (I guess it has nine spots on its wings....). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nine-spotte...
The Oleander Moth isnt exactly the same. It has a red end rather then a yellow stripe. But it really is similar: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Syntomeida_...
thanks i'll google that in a moment.
Oleander Moth is what we call it here. It lays it's eggs either on Oleander or Alamanda vines. I have been trying to get a picture of one here in Florida around my Alamanda.
