Last Saturday I have snapped
this moth and identification of one is a problem for me. It resembles
Ostrinia palustralis a piece but I see also some differences. Has anybody an idea?
Can anybody help me with
this moth?

The first moth is either Lythria cruentaria or L. purpuraria. The antennae rule out the Ostrinia immediately.
The second moth is much more difficult. Theoretically it could be the same, but I'm much more inclined towards Ematurga atomaria. Considering the picture, it could be something else as well. The antennae are again a good clue.

Thanks, JKT, I have written the legend "Lythria cruentaria"
