    Help with moth
    Hi!

    First of all, I would like to say that I've been reading the forum since time ago just for curiosity on insects, and I've found really interesting posts about them. So I would like to thank you these 'didactic' moments :)
    I'm in poland right now and some days ago one friend found this moth in his bedroom (despite the pictures are taken outside, we just capted it and then free again) and we have been looking for its scientific name, but we couldn't find any which could be correct.




    Thank you very much for your help.

    The pictures didn't post. Can you post them to Facebook or Photobucket and provide a link?

    Thanks for the photo. In Europe I would suspect it as the "Oak Egger" moth (name loses a lot in translation)

    You win Cats. That's a dead wringer.

    The one I found is cute too though. He's fuzzy. :)

    I just checked to see if yours was found in Europe, too. Tovsi's is female.

    This is what I get for doing my own search. I should have sent it to my ex. He's an entomologist. Then I would have got it right. ;)
