Apocheima pilosaria (Phigalia pilosaria)
This moth did sit on the wall sunbathing.
You are spot on bayucca, thanks..
It looks like Apocheima pilosaria are the new name and Phigalia pilosaria are the old one...
The norwegian name are Mars measures, strange name :P
I don't now the actual name. Is it Phigalia pilosaria or Apocheima pilosaria?? You have to check it.
Interesting spotting! In German it is called "Schneespanner" meaning "Snow Geometrid Moth". The female is unable to fly!
