Butterfly impersonator

A geometrid moth, the Latticed Heath (Chiasmia clathrata), flew into the house in Aeschlen. It looks like a butterfly, but you can see it is not because it lacks a 'club' at the end of the antennae. Its main host plants are Gallium spp. - and there are a lot of these in my meadow.
