Haha, thanks venusflytrap!
Yes, this was nearly 3 years ago… How I long to see another one. But not so many moths come visiting these days, as we have new neighbours - so we're not the only house anymore on this hillside attracting insects with our lights at night.

That's an impressive creature Ann van Wijgerden.
I guess from its feathered antennae that it is a male.
