Wow, this is one o the biggest moth I've seen in this area. I'm curious why these "antenna" have this special form. I saw it on many different moth.

You may connect your spotting of this area to the mission "Pannonian wildelife" I just created :-). I' m curious what other interesting creatures can be found in this area.
