Dark strawberry tortrix - Syricoris lacunana And despite the rain and bad weather, I walked to Vitosha Mountain near Sofia. This moth flew over and got caught in a web when I managed to photograph it from below. But the web turned out to be weak and it has released itself after several attempts. Fortunately, it landed nearby and posed for a few more photos.
