Hi Marina,

I'm no expert but it looks like Limonia phragmitidis.

Cheers.

Black stripe on thorax and front femora half-black would mean Limonia nigropunctata (at least it does in the UKWink)

To key the genus out fully involves checking details of the wing venation, which I can't see all of in the picture, but in this case the combination of wing spots, blackedging at the tip of the wing, orange thorax with black stripe, and leg markings mean that it is a distinctive species so I just jumped to the genusGrin.

In continental Europe there are quite a few L. species with this three dot on the wing setup. But the other characters look quite distinctive.
