Is possible an identification?

Hi Camillo

From the resting posture, with the antennae laid across the back of the moth, I would suggest a pyralid - but I wouldn't even know where to start deciding which family/subfamily.

hi Martin,
yes, i think you are right. Maybe a Pyralidae.
I think identification will be difficult.

thanks
