 Rescued from a swimming pool in the south of Portugal, September. By the wing venation I would say it belongs to the Notodontidae family. Two things puzzling me: the wings hold upright, like a butterfly, and the transparent wings, with very few scales visible. Could both be the result of the imersion in the water?

 Hello,
It seems to be Arctornis l-nigrum in the family Lymantriidae.
Greetings
