    Default Need ID for iridescent moth

    Hi,
    Found this moth high up the wall behind my kitchen, under the roof so nice in the dark
    Got my ladder and camera and tried to get decent shots. I got a few and will share two of them here.
    Eye-catching is the variation of iridescent colours on the front, really beautiful.
    Second "special" feature are the very long antennae, nearly 2/3 of the whole moth.
    I have limited field guides and I did not get further than Acosmeryx sericeus, but I don't think it's this one.
    So any input welcome, even directions where to look, I thought Sphingidae and that is a large family.

    I enclose one pic of the whole moth and one close-up of the front.

    Thanks for any input!

    I do not kill animals to take photos, neither do I keep them captive.
