Apocheima pilosaria ?

Wie kommst du denn da drauf? Die Weibchen von A.pilosaria sind flügellos - und aud dem Bild hat es sogar größere als das Männchen. Biston strataria könnte wohl eher passen.

probably it is - as Karola said - a very dark version of Biston strataria. Look at the third picture of the following link: http://www.lepiforum.de/cgi-bin/lepiwiki.pl?Biston_Strataria

Biston sp.

Hello Rob

If the moths come from Israel, it could be Biston achyra Wehrli, 1936

Sincerely,

Egbert
