Pieris rapae
Two moths we found "stuck" together. They are still alive and trying to fly around!!
Pieridae/Whites, Pierinae, Pieris sp. and most probably Pieris rapae.

Intersting observation of a late mating in autumn.
It is actually a butterfly, if you look at the clubbed antennae. And it is a female, probably the one in the front, and a male during mating. Moths usually have feathery-like or filamentous-straight antennae without clubs at the tip.
