Scopula marginepunctata
2 cm big from the side of the head and 1 cm large two posterior wings. Wikipedia says that it has the wingspan is 25 – 28 mm but I measured mine. The length of the forewings is 12–15 mm. The moth flies in two generations from mid May to September. The larva feed on yarrow and mugwort.
Found it home, there are few of them around the outside walls. It is found throughout Europe.

Welcome, I will try to get a little bit closer, all these Geometridae look very similar.
Ok, tnx for your help, really appreciate that ;)
If you do not find any similar one, try also Sterrhinae.
Thank you!
Geometridae, Ennominae.
