Being a West-Palaearctic species it is distributed in Southern Europe prefering middle range and low altitude dry mountainous slopes and steppic habitats. It is oligofagous on the flowers and seeds of Anthenum and Pastinaca in Greece, its singel brood flies in May-June.

Hi Gregely,
A nice looking moth. I have also captured something similar to this. Shall post it later and will need your help for ID. Thanks a lot for sharing this beautiful moth with us.
Best regards
