  It's a Plume moth (dutch: Vedermot).
  
  I have put an ID to it of a plume moth specie (Emmelina monodactyla) because i have photographed that one before and it looks the same, but it can be some other specie in that family as well.

    There are a few similar species, but Emmelina monodactyla doesn't have white stripes.
    Crombrugghia distans
    Geina didactyla
    Oxyptilus spp.

      I would say the Crombrugghia distans. That specy lives in Europe, Asia and Africa and that matches blackdiamond his location in Turkey. Posted 10 years ago
